Bought brand new 2021 camaro . I always want to get my first oil change between 500-1000 miles. Went to the chevy dealer when I hit my 600th mile and they did not want to do it. Says that it was too early. My oil life was at 75 percent. Went to another chevy dealer when I hit 700 miles and they said the same thing, too early so they did not want to do it either. They both said they wouldn't do it till its around 30 percent oil life at least. I told both dealers that I really didn't care about the first oil change being "free" just that I wanted it done. I didn't want to "argue" with the service managers at both dealers so I just left. (dont want to tick off the guy that's going to work on my car) I went to a mom and pop service and they said they would do it and they have Mobil 1 synthetic in stock but I just dont feel comfortable with having this place do it on my brand new car. ( i also heard that if the Camaro isn't put on the lift right the rocker panel could get bent so I am hesitant to let a non-GM service tech work on my car. I am retired and have a slight disability where I cant get under the car, etc...just want my oil changed, what's the beef? isn't the customer always right? I know the manual says 3000 miles is ok for first oil change, but you know I just want it done the first time before 1000 miles. Or is that not necessary anymore? Is this a new policy for Chevrolet Dealers that they have to wait now till the oil life percentage is low, or what? the problem is also I may not hit 3000 miles on my car for 18 months to two years because I am retired and do not drive it as much as someone that uses it every day to get to work. any advice? Thanks for reading this...
