Default Tune/dealer ???

Ok taking our 16Stingray for an oil change tomorrow morning, I have the Diablo sport 93 Octane tune loaded, should I put the stock tune back in the car before going?

Why don't you change your own oil? If you don't have time or a place to do it yourself you really should consider someone other than a dealer.

I have had a 66% success ratio getting my 3 "free" changes done. The first was good because I watched, the second I got lucky, and the third they gave me an overfilled tank!

Answering your question, no. Not if all you're getting is an oil change. Good luck!

EDIT: On second thought. Maybe you should pull the tune if any recalls or updates are required.

Yeah that's sort of what I was thinking

yes, you want to make sure that you restore original backup stock tune to the vehicle first before going to a dealer for anything...
