Must not be a GM dealer to have requested Universal ATF and not Dexron VI.
5 gallons for a flush when the only flush that can be done is on the cooler that only holds about a half quart? Even a pan removal only takes 6.5 quarts. Somebody is fooling you into giving them something for free.

None of the 3 GM dealers I frequent, will allow the customer to bring in non-GM parts for a car that's still under warranty. If they are doing warranty work, they are only allowed to use parts that are documented to be from their inventory. I suspect for cars such as your's out of warranty, that they don't have the same concerns.

Even with a pan removal and blowout of the cooler lines they only used 8 quarts max. Did they give you the extra 3 gallons back?

OOOPS I REPLIED TO THE WRONG THREAD BUT I can't believe some of issues discussed in this forum. Want advanage could there be in using MOBIL1 0-30 oil ? Maybe at the North Pole. Better gas mileage ( how much 1,2,3,4 miles per gallon ), quicker starts ( a 10th of a second ) ? I like the quote I have never have any problems. You could be doing significant engine damage to your bearings, cyclinder walls and valve train and never know it. Did you ever think the GM engineers would have suggest a lower viscosity oil if it would give you better gas mileage, faster starts and long term internal component protection ? If gas mileage is an issue drive slower in 6th gear like you had an egg under the gas pedal. You will be impressed.
