Like I stated. I have records on the spread sheet of date/mileage services done. I am not required to provide receipts, empty bottles, credit card charges, nor am I required to have an "authorized shop" do the service. And these records of service, like for my pickup, are also entered into the owners section on the OEM website. Now, they are going to have to show that I am a liar. They can see the filter that is on the engine and send the oil in for analysis if they want. I really don't care. But I am not going to lose any sleep over worrying about the childish behavior of a tech behind the counter at a dealership.
I did not make any mention that I think what the engineers have designed or spec'd is stupid, though some things about my pickup really make me suspect that R&D is on drugs, or that I don't follow recommended intervals, oil viscosities, etc. Oh, and I am NOT REQUIRED to use a dexos1 approved oil in my 2013 Chevy pickup. The owners manual even states that. It says "dexos1 or equivalent". The oil I use is equivalent, so I have met the letter of the recommendation of the owners manual. You are trying to put words in my mouth. I just stated I am not going to be treated, at the dealership, like some defendant at the police station being interrogated like I committed an illegal act. The burden of proof goes both ways. I can show that I performed services on dates and mileages. They have to prove what I did or what I used messed things up or that I didn't do them as I recorded. Everything I have done to my pickup, for instance, has been entered as service record on the OEM website. They want to look it up, feel free.
I am not going to apologize that I do not suffer from OCD like some folks do over this warranty stuff. If one follows accepted practices, using quality products that conform to OEM recommendations, then they have nothing to worry about except a moron behind the counter. And for that, I am more than prepared.
