Free stuff documentation?
So I just got back from getting the 500 mi. oil change at my small local dealer - 1 week old 2016 Z06 vert., A8, Nav/PDR. They didn't know about the Mobil 1 specification and their system didn't show anything about free oil changes; however, they accommodated me as a courtesy and did the work N/C.
Because they are nice folks and so close by, I'd like to "train" them so they can do my minor services. My question is, Where are the free oil changes documented (don't see it in my paperwork) and how many am I entitled to (think I've read here it's 4 or 5)?
I think I also read here about being entitled to 1 free alignment - any documentation I can use to show them? Is there anything else included with the purchase I should know about?
Thanks.

Looks great! 
Before picking up my stage 1 I read about side stone chips and decided to get some aftermarket OEM copies of the factory side skirts and 4 GM splash guards. 4000+ miles so far and I have not found a side chip yet. Just thought I would make a "suggestion" because everyone hates side chips.
You can see the front GM splash guard in this pic. It sticks out approx. 1".

Does your dealer sell any GM products at all? The two free oil changes is part of all cars, not just Corvettes. If he still balks, refer your dealer to the window sticker and to the Order Guide regarding the free oil changes.
The 500-mile oil change, not counted as one of the two free, is in a dealer bulletin they should be able to find themselves: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-rqd-maint.pdf
