Default 2015 Maintenance Plan question?

My local dealer is telling me they won't change the oil/filter until 6K miles or 20% or less Engine Oil Life. They told me this is GM's policy. I was hoping to not have to wait this long for the first oil/filter change. Any recommendations other than paying for the first oil change? Thanks in advance for your help!

I understand the Mobil 1 part.

Find a different dealership. Many of the dealerships we're using have no such policy and will change your oil at any point. My dealership said they'd give me all 4 oil changes the same day if I really wanted

Thanks!
I had seen postings to that effect and was curious if I could take a GM policy to my local dealer.

From GM:

As you are aware, all 2014/2015 Corvettes come with Chevrolet Complete Care which covers 2 years/24,000 miles of select required maintenance. Previously, up to 4 service events were allowed under the program guidelines in the 2-year/24,000-mile period. With the change in the maintenance schedule being effective immediately, an additional oil change allowance will be added to 2014/2015 Z51 and Z06 Corvettes, increasing the amount of coverage to 2 years/24,000 miles, up to 5 service events.
Please make sure all dealership personnel are aware of this change.

To: Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC Dealers
The 2014-2015 Chevrolet Complete Care Program for Corvettes was designed to take into account the preferred Mobil 1 oil choice of many Corvette owners. As a reminder, dealers are required to use Mobil 1 when performing oil changes on ALL 2014-2015 Corvettes through the Chevrolet Complete Care Program. Current reimbursement levels for Corvette are based on Mobil 1 usage. Please remind all personnel that only Mobil 1 should be used. In addition, please refer to GlobalConnect message # G_0000205212 for details on dry sump equipped (Z51, Z52, and Z06) Corvettes.
In the event a customer paid an upcharge for Mobil 1 under the Chevrolet Complete Care Program, customers should be directed to contact Executive CAC at (855) 435-7284 or email helpacustomer@gm.com for reimbursement.

You can also contact Customer Care on this board and explain the situation and one of the Customer Care Reps will inform the dealer.

I just received a phone call from the executive division of Chevy's Customer Care Department. I was advised that due to our Premium vehicles that my inquiry went to the Executive Division. I was assured that they will contact my local dealer tomorrow and arrange for me to get an early service. Very Impressive and thanks to everyone for their advise and assistance.
