GM Easy Care? Never heard of it. Remember almost all of the add on crap is through the dealer, not GM. Pretty much all dealers offer something similar but different names. I was offered something similar where my dealer would give me free oil changes for the duration of the power train warranty and it was a complete ripoff. It only covered up to 5 quarts of dino oil, and can only be used once a year or once every 5k miles which ever happened first. The SS takes 8 quarts so the extra 3 I would have to pay for as for synthetic I would have to pay the price difference of $5 a quart and pay the full price for the other 3 quarts which they charged $10 a quart. Even with this "service plan" I would still have to pay $55 plus tax out of pocket if I bought it. I currently do my own oil changed for less than that.
