Default Oil Changes by Dealers
Does the oil need to be changed by the dealer to satisfy the warranty or can I change my own oil? Any info. would be appreciated.

no. just use the correct oil and keep your receipts.

I got a free lifetimie powertrain warranty included with mine, and they claimed that I had to have the oil changed through them to satisfy it.

If you don't use Mobil 1, but you do use a GM certified oil, is that okay? like Amsoil 10W-30?

Thanks for the feedback. I am assuming the Mobil 1 is to be synthetic?
