My response to this thread is for the sole purpose of helping others understand my experiences and avoiding headaches from the dealer. If you feel you are different good for you, move on then.
Well, you did say ME in your second-to-last post so how was I to know you were all the sudden going back to addressing everybody again?
Even though this post is primarily addressed to you, this pretty much goes to everyone when I rebut what you said by saying you don’t have to let the dealership do your fluid changes just to avoid future headaches from warranty claims. There’s no rule, restriction, or limitation in warranty coverage by you doing your own maintenance unless you screw something up and try later to get warranty to fix it.
