Yeah I know, get off my lazy ___ and change the damn oil myself. But I am at my 10k and I figured I would take it in to get a free oil change they still owe me as well as a rotation and wheel balance.

However, I have injen CAI, AW header, invidia S-Pipe, Custom Midpipe, and trd axle back...

Is it a smart idea to take it to the dealer even if the oil change is free or will they say something about my car? Gah...I need the time to do it myself but am hard pressed for it....

btw, here to hoping all Cali cops that pull me over are cool.

 

Um....is this going to be your first oil change?

 

^^I hope not.

The dealership should still do the free changes. They did mine and I had my K&N CAI on.

 

i went will full i/h/e/pullies/stiffy/etc etc etc


it's an oil change lol

 

most times they don't care.

 

Actually, those "Free oil changes" are prepaid in the price of the vehicle.

There should be no question of a dealer doing the oil changes even if you towed the car in, so long as it is under 36,000 miles and three years.

Even it they were to have heartburn with aftermarket parts (which they shouldn't), they still have a contractual commitment to change your oil.

so far theyve changed mine 4 times for free lol

 

Yea im at 8k and just had the second.

 

i had mine changed at 1k, then at 3***, then 6***, then just now at 10*** and i had them put in blended synthetic on this last one, so next time ill be doing it myself and putting in fully synthetic mobil 1

 

it sounds like its his 1st time (ha ha that sounds funny).

 

10k on the factory oil? eeeek!
Collect a sample and send it for a Used Oil Analysis. I'd love to see all the junk floating around in it.

 

Oh god no

First time since I modded though ha. No I changed it at 4k and now I am about 9k miles. I was an idiot and new to modding so I didn't change my oil till the maint light went on. After I get these free ones I will be doing it myself...once I read the manual and find out where the oil filter is...

I am really only doing it there because I need my tires rotated and balanced too. I can do the oil change at home but not the balancing.

i actually got free oil changes for...pretty much almost the life of the car. a dealership...which will go unnamed handed me and sum others i was with about 20 Free oil change vouchers. we were spose to only get 2 but they had a bunch extra lol. ironically i still have 1 of my initial free oil changes left.

but im prolly gonna be buying my own oil to put in cuz i dont dig that regular stuff they use. tryin to keep it mobil 1!!!!!!1!1!!11!!

 

yea, my dealer offers free oil changes for life on the car. I still dont go to them though lol. The amount of time it takes me to drive to the dealer (1 way) is how long it takes me to do my own oil change (15 minutes). So I am saving time by doing it myself. Plus, this way the dealer doesnt touch my car and I know its done right with quality stuff.

 

if i got some royal purple and brought that in with my car do they change it for free

 

i remember my first free oil change... when i got my car back, i did the paperwork, got in the car, started it and i noticed that the oil light wouldnt go off and it had a rough idle. so i turned the car off and got the service dept. manager who had an attitude. i tell him what was wrong so he gets all huffy and walks to my car, pops the hood, pulls out the dipstick, looks at it, his eyes widen... he was the nicest person after he pulled that dipstick out, lmao

 

^^ WOW!!!!

 

The dealer no way in hell will say anything to you about what you have in your car. You are going in for an oil change not a warranty repair. They have no business saying anything but "thank you" for getting the change done there or "thank you" for overspending your $38 for a $26 change.

 

what happened?

 

^ im going to guess and say they forgot to put the oil in?
