Roadray,
I'm confused by your post. If you service equipment (and clean the air filter in the process) how is that harmful?
It may be financially foolish - too much cost, typically a sign of either an over zelous CSR/Salesman, or a maintenance plan that does not take in to account conditions or hours of use, but I do not understand how it's harmful to the engine?
