1st Oil Change
Dealer, Jiffy Lube or Pep Boys type deal..
I live in the city dont have the tools, time or the Ability to do it myself My family mechanic is great (Engines, Tranny swaps, major stuff) He has a 2009 Corvette, Avalanch and a s10 pick up..also is retired from GM. I really trust him but once he forgot to put the oil filter gasket on my 2006 Stratus RT luckly I caught it when the oil light came one but dont want any mishaps like that on my Camaro

Screwups can happen at any one of those places. The only way to be 100% sure a job is done right is to do it yourself. I would go to the dealer though if I were you.

GM dealer is your best bet, if something goes wrong they will be liable for it.

My dealer gave me free oil changes for the first year of ownership....which if I drive a LOT it may add up to two, lol. I don't intend on bringing it there though...mostly because they are a bit out of my way.....and I just would rather do it myself. I have changed the oil on every vehicle I have owned myself since the very first one 7 years ago. Not stopping now, lol.

As far as I can tell, you didn't really ask a question. Don't questions usually end with a punctuation mark like this one?
Take it to the dealer. John B.

In your case I would go to the dealer.
