I might be missing out on those free oil changes. I am having a hard time trusting my dealership with my car...actually most dealerships. Last time they serviced my wife's Volt and they did not even tighten the plug properly and leaked in the garage the first night back. With my ZL1, I don't even know what kind of problems I am going to have....maybe better off doing it on my own...

I hear what you're saying. One of the reasons I've always changed my own. I know no one else is going to do it with the attention to detail that I do. How many of these places prefill the new oil filter before putting it on, or even rub a little oil on the seal like you're supposed to?
The thing with this car is, those 2 oil changes aren't cheap. 10 quarts of synthetic oil and a filter runs around $70-80. So that's roughly $150 you're saving if you leave out the labor because you change your own.
