30k Service at Dealership?

So I was all content with taking my car to the dealer for the 30k mile service. My thought was "eh, if they void my warranty I'll only lose out on the last 6k miles of it" (3-4 months at the rate I've been going). I just realized our powertrain warranty is actually 60k miles though.
Now I'm stuck in a dilemma again

I'd be interested in this. I am on a mission to avoid dealership visits like they were the plague!

BTW - I would hope a reputable shop (not a dealer) would be able to do that fluid change for you either with a tool or through some other method.

I was wrong. The AYC fluid check can be accomplished without a MUT.
But AYC bleeding requires the steps below:
AYC BLEEDING
M1272004800029
CAUTION
At low temperature the fluid viscosity is so high that air bleeding becomes degenerated. Air bleeding should be done at normal temperatures {10 to 30°C (50 to 86°F)}.
1.Lift up the vehicle.
CAUTION
Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK (OFF)" position before connecting or disconnecting the scan tool.
2.Set the scan tool to the 16-pin data link connector. (Refer to P.27-6.)
3.Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
4.Set the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position.
5.Using the scan tool, forcibly activate the hydraulic unit (item No. 02). (Refer to GROUP 22A − Actuator Test TableP.22A-113.)
NOTE:
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
TSB Revision
REAR AXLE 27-31
•Forced activation (air bleeding mode) is continued for 5 minutes, and then the operation is canceled automatically. Also, using the clear key on the scan tool, the forced activation can be canceled.
•When the functions are suspended by the fail-safe function, the hydraulic unit cannot be forcibly activated.

6.Remove the cap on the left of bleeder screw on the torque transfer mechanism, and connect the vinyl hose.
7.Gradually rotate the steering wheel at the straight-ahead position clockwise. Loosen the left side
We don't have any actuator capabilities in EcuFlash do we?

This is a major issue. I am far enough from stock that I refuse to go back to stock. So how do I get this done?
Isn't it illegal to have a service procedure that only the dealer can perform? I guess it doesn't matter.
Ok, who can get a birdy into the EcuFlash devlopers's ear and get this done...I'm at 39k
