Two year Prot Maintenance

[Sierra048]

Just curious how many are planning to take advantage of the free oil change/tire rotation for two years, up to four total? Not sure I will due to sixty mile round trip distance unless I'm in the area anyway.

I do. Then again I only live 16 miles from my dealer. Just remember the oil changes for these trucks are going to cost a little more than the past gen trucks. These take 9qrts of oil instead of 5.

I am taking advantage of it. But my dealer is 15 min away. Also, I work from home so mileage is low. They will change my oil every 6 months regardless of mileage which averages ~3,000 miles. Lately, there have been recalls to check so I schedule it all at one time. After the 4 changes is over, I will switch to Mobil1 and have it changed at a local oil change shop 1 mile away (I know the owner and bring my own oil and filter - he takes care of my GTO and wife's T/A as well).

The dealer by me runs the oil/change tire rotation special for like $55. I was paying $45 or $50 for the same on my 2007. I was actually quite surprised that oil changes on these trucks seem pretty comparable to the GMT900's.

I set up for one of the free oil change and get a recall completed this week. I try to group the recalls with the oil changes to make the trip to the dealer worth while.

I am not doing letting them do the oil changes. I change my own oil and I am running Mobil 1, the deal does not include synthetic oil. I will swing in and have them rotate my tires though.

Couldn't you just pay the difference between The Synthetic Blend Dexos 1 and the Mobil 1?

[fondupot]

Yep. I'll use it. I only live 10 miles from my dealer and its on my way to work.

More than likely I could but I enjoy doing my own oil changes. I like knowing that everything was done to my satisfaction.

Unfortunately it has zero value to me. I am much too anal with maintenance on all things I own and am lucky enough to have a two post vehicle lift and ever increasing tool collection. The only things that go to the dealership are major repairs that require specialty tools.

Yes, I did and I believe it was $9.00

Call me paranoid but I just don't trust dealers at all. I would lose sleep at night wondering if they actually did put in the oil I wanted and not their standard oil. I am like "Thetruck454" I do any and all wrenching I can on my truck myself. The only time I let the dealers crappy techs touch my truck is if special tools are required or it is warranty work.

I just bought a 14 Malibu and plan on using it.... my truck however I just do it myself.....

I'm fine with the dealer doing the changes at first. I too typically do my own maintenance, but what's there to screw up? As long as they get the right amount in and tighten everything up. And that's easy enough to check when you get home. Dexos1 is Dexos1. Full vs blend makes no difference at all.

No blends for 2014,

0w20 only comes full synthetic
