Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and glad to be here.

The question I have is about DIY oil changes and the car warranty. I tried looking it up in the search but couldnt find much on my question.

I plan to do all oil changes outside of the dealership for convenience, lower cost, and better customer service. I have noticed a good number of members DIY the oil changes or have their mechanic do the oil changes.

The questions I have are:

1) If I do my own oil changes at home will it void warranty?

2) Do I need to keep all receipts on the oil/filter purchased fpr DIY?

3) Will going to a mechanic shop and getting the oil change be better for keeping the car warranty valid?

I'm leaning towards buying my own Redline Oil/Filter and bringing them to a local mechanic. They will do it for $15 labor which is 1/2 the price of the dealership.

I just want to make sure which is the best way to keep the warranty and extended warranty valid without having to go to the dealership for everything.

Thanks!
