Oil changes while under warranty

Vehicle manufacturers such as Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen etc are tired of the longevity of their vehicles so they go extended. Doesn’t that make sense? It’s true not all can go extended I don’t in our Genesis. Funny though it’s not a DI engine. In contrast our first Hyundai an 05 Elantra is still going. It’s had 7K oil changes since day one on blends. I don’t just shop vehicles, I shop the reliability and maintenance schedule. There’s a reason GM raised the oil capacity in their trucks. Oil hasn’t gotten worse, some engines have. 

At least in the trucks I feel they raised the oil capacity because they knew that there was going to be fuel dilution with these DI engines.

With just over 3000 miles, my 2021 Colorado is calling for an oil change.

How does this work if I don't want my dealership to do the service

and not voiding my warranty.

Also thinking of using 100% synthetic oil.

 

Independent auto services can provide the oil change for less.

Is there some setting on the truck that indicates the change.

Obviously I keep all my auto service records.

 

Thanks!

 

Your first oil change and tire rotation is free. I like the dealer over the lube shops because of the service I get. I get someone who knows my vehicle, will use the correct oil, and filter. I find the cost beyond the free first service is not much more than the lube shops. Lube shops charge 55-60 for synthetic oil change, and a oil change with tire rotation at my dealership is 60 bucks.

My dealer sends me coupons for oil changes and rotation. They want you to come in and look at all the shiny new  vehicle……brochures.
