Question RE: DIY oil change
Hello everyone! Wanted to get your thoughts on how, if any, the warranty and or extended warranty would be affected by performing your own oil changes?
Thanks!
Thanks!

No, besides it would be very easy to determine whether you changed your oil regularly anyway. If you're really worried about it, keep receipts for the oil and filter. They're just as good as the ones your dealer would give you.

Be careful draining your own oil. If you let it drain straight down, some of the oil will hit the underbody cover and be trapped there (real pain to clean out). Oil must be sightly diverted towards driver's side to avoid this.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
