Oil change
Checked my oil today after about 2000 last year. Looks as clear as it does when I put it in. I know it’s time for the yearly change at 25% on the DIC. Changing but seems like a waste of good expensive oil

For the warranty, I would change it.
But maybe send it off to black stone or another lab for an oil analysis to see how the addictive’s are, etc for out of warranty interval guidance. The 1 year advice is usually due to the addictive’s losing effectiveness( and again give the manufacture an out if you did an oil change after 2 years and an engine blew in warranty).

In order to keep your warranty intact it’s change your oil every 7500 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. Or if the oil monitor hits 0% oil life left.

I treat the owners manual chart as guidance. My car, my way based on how I drive (or don't). Warranty... They can warranty or not anything no matter if you follow the book or not.

oil and trans fluids
chevrolet changed my trans fluid and filter at 3500 miles on my 2022 c8 when do I do anything like this again? at what mileage? they sent the filter to BOWLING GREEN kentucky to study it. how do I find the outcome? chevy just did an oil change at 7200 miles, last week , did they rotate the tires and top off my fluids? I paid $199.
