Out of warrenty and its a no brainer, but while warrenty is in effect its nice to know all will be covered...lol I've considered letting the dealership do the oil change, document it, and then drive car home and drain oil into some clean containers and use in my pickup trucks. Then put my trusted Red Line in the Z06. (my wife thinks I'm crazy)

I change it myself:

1. Don't have a ton a faith when the oil change lube crew do it. There have been a few horror stories on the forum.

2. Allows me to look the underside of the car over while it is draining. Every once in a while you will find something wrong or loose and avoid bigger problems down the road. Not sure the lube crew at the dealer pays much attention.

3. As far as documenting the oil changes, if you reset the oil monitoring system, On Star has your history for all your oil changes.

BTW the dealers where I live that have quick lube racks, will not accept a later model Corvette. So it goes on a hoist and I can go view the underside if I so choose. I did my own back in the day, I've got better things do now, and lazy sure isn't one of them.

I was watching and told him to clean the dirt off before installing. I'm almost to the point that if I can't do it and it aint broke it's not getting done.
