Default Oil change experience

Took the car in for a 6 moth oil change (1709 miles). Not one problem. Service guy uses Mobil One, and said I have 4 more any time I choose to use them. Sticker on windshield shows next change is due Nov 6 or 10%.

No overfill and no oil smell on trip home with AC and vent to outside open (not recirculate).


Called at noon, got appointment at 4PM - out at 4:30, coffee and cookies and wi-fi. Could not have expected better.

Well, you should really only have 3 changes remaining. Only the dry sump (Z51 and Z06) get 5 changes (with the added 500 mile change).

Very true. I think he was assuming mine was a Z51 or they are doing 5 for every C7. Dunno. I only plan on using the four I paid for (semi annual changes for the first two years due to my low mileage).

Was just happy to report a "no issue" dealer service appointment. Zero hassle, no arguments about oil longevity, grade of oil used etc.

Sounds like you have found a good service department, at least for the oil changes. Hopefully anything else that the car needs will be handled with the same quality.
