Dont change oil for 2 years?

So I have had my 14 1LE SS now since December '13. I recently started getting calls from the dealer to take my car in for its scheduled service. SO I made the appointment.

First of all, I barely drive my Camaro, it mostly sits in the garage as I have a daily driver nearing 9 months old it only has 2500 miles on it and its on the original oil & filter. Anyway, went in today to the dealer, Chevrolet of Puyallup, and said I was there for my 1:00 appointment. The service gentleman asked what percent my oil was and I said I wasnt sure, havent checked. He runs out and and checks for me.

He came back and tells me he will have to charge me since its still at 66% life, even though I was told I have free oil changes for life when I bought the car. I reminded him that the car was about 9 months on the original oil and filter, and he informed me it doesnt matter with synthetic oil, even if it takes 2 years, they have to go off the life %..

I could be completely ignorant but could someone with knowledge please explain this?
