Add this to the book of "Shit Service Advisors Say That is Made Up"
Acidity can build up in engine oil and that could be damaging the gaskets. Replacing oil is going to remove that acid build up which could help.
However, I have a car that gets 3 oil changes a year over 6 or 7k miles and that still has leaky gaskets. Age and temperature (extremes, high or very low) are the biggest contributors.
