Soooooooooooo, i went to my local chevy service shop to get my oil changed, and after it was all said and done i whipped out a $100 bill and the service girl said it was free!!!

now the last time i went there i had to pay so that threw me for a loop, i just looked at her smiled and said thanks

P.S. i did not buy the car there, i bought it out in pennsylvaina.
the only thing im worried about is them putting the right oil in there and not that cheap garbage

Should i be worried???

rolnslo · 03-08-2012, 05:19 PM

djxrated81 · 03-08-2012, 05:22 PM

jeffny09 · 03-08-2012, 05:24 PM

Dude..do your self a favor call the sealership tomarrow and ask them what kind of oilvwas used

My dealer offered free oil changes, and when I , out of curiousity, asked if they used DEXOS1 oil, they said they never heard of it, and would use whatever they had in the barrel. Nope, do it myself, if a Chevy dealer doesn't know what they are supposed to use.

djxrated81 · 03-08-2012, 05:30 PM

True ill call tomorrow, but i have a feeling that they'll just be like, uhhhhhh??? yeah we used mobil 1, have a nice day. this shiz is pissing me off now

djxrated81 · 03-08-2012, 05:32 PM

Don't they know that these cars only take mobil 1 and not regular oil?? They cant be that dumb, can they??

IndeedSS1 · 03-08-2012, 05:37 PM

My dealership puts Mobil 1 in the SSs, whether free or paying full price. Still wouldn't hurt to verify though. You could also ask why the free deal. GM called me a few days ago asking about my last service experience. In return for answering about 4 questions they sent me a $100 voucher toward my next service. Just in time for Saturday's oil change.

djxrated81 · 03-08-2012, 05:37 PM

i mean i can see if they used reg. oil and then charged me the 85 bucks ya know?? i dont know ill call tomorrow and ill see whats up if im still doubting it ill just go to tune time where i got my headers installed and have them do it.

After I bought my car back in January "this year". I went and got an oil change using mobil 1 oil. Didn't want to take a chance what the dealership put in.
