Oil change

[gtaylor318]

Under the warranty I get free oil change @ Chevy dealer for 12,000 miles/24 months. I haven't had a oil change since I purchased the 2013 Camaro on March 28 2015. Although I have not met the 5,000 mile oil change mileage suggestion & have 40% oil life will dealer still change oil?

1.you are past the 24 months so they will not do it.
2.Oil does degrade over time and you should change it yearly regardless of miles
3. Drive your car more please. These cars are meant to be driven not parked.

Read the date he purchased the car, it's only been 7 months.

OP, typically when they offer you these promotions, it's for a set number of oil changes. They might say oil changes for 12,000 miles, but maybe it's 1 oil change every 6,000. So really it's only good for 2 oil changes?

You can do the 2 oil changes back-to-back if you want, then discard the ability for other free changes.

Talk to the dealer, let them know it's been over 6 months and you want it changed. They will do what you want to keep you happy if they are a good dealership. If not, they are the easiest oil changes I have ever done on my own cars.

To the OP, they should do it. Even if they don't,change it anyway.

As far as AC Delco filters, I have had always had good luck with them. If you are doing your own oil changes, make sure that the gasket from the old filter is completely removed. It had been reported, and I had this happen to me once where part of the old filter's gasket stayed on the filter housing and caused a leak. Other than that, if installed properly, I've had no issues with them, and they're all I ever used on my GM cars.

i did a bit of net research on the ac delo filters for our camaros.
they are junk..plastic clips inside..purolator filter i bought seals perfectly with onlly metal parts used inside..
have a look on you tube...i wont be using one again...

Oil changes are not part of the warranty. Sounds like you got free oil changes for the first 24 months or 12K miles. Myself I would not care about the dealers free oil changes. Doing oil changes yourself is the best. Why don't you just phone call the service dept. and tell them your situation and see what they say. If they will not change it yet then you will have learned that free oil changes as part of a deal are something you may want to pass on in the future.

The V6 uses a different type of filter. I have never had a problem with the acdelco filters, or any oil filter. I give the filter a looking over before I buy it. Before installing make sure the mounting surface is clean, make sure rubber gasket on filter is seated properly and not deformed or something. Put a little oil on rubber gasket, screw on until gasket contacts mounting surface and tighten 3/4 of a turn.

If this is what was also offered to me when I picked up my car I was told I can come down the day after I picked up the car for the oil change if I so chose to

Starting with 2014+ model years when you purchase ANY new Chevy vehicle you get 2 years of oil changes free (4 total @ 1 every 6 months). Like many others on here, my dealer said you can stretch it out 2 years or change when ever you want (ie; 3K miles / 3 months).

I do not believe you will have an issue from the dealer regarding the free oil change @ 40% (it's been 6 months, which-ever occurs first), but if they do not honor it you should definitely get it done now at your expense.

This is basically what the dealer I bought my car at said. I asked because I am a low millage driver and did not want to wait a year and the service advisor said they would do it 4 times every six months if I wanted.

change it every year. oil change is cheap and makes the engine feel good all over.

It depends.

If you are referring to the Chevrolet "Complete Care" program, the fine print says "scheduled maintenance only" which means oil changes according to the OLM. However, many dealers (including mine) have given me oil changes upon request. So, check with your dealer.
