Default shoul I be scared

I went into the dealers for an oil change and inspection. I went into the waiting room and then the tech came in and said, do you want synthetic oil, or regular? I was like, "synthetic duh..."

From a Chevy dealer this is not a valid question. Use of non-synthetic oil voids the warranty on the engine.

This is why I take mine to a Corvette specialty shop for just about everything. I know I'm paying a bit more, but the peace of mind is worth it.
