No one's reported warranty denial for DIY oil changes yet.Ok..thanks guys! question....How does warranty deal with changing your own oil?
As long as you make note of the date of your DIY oil change, the oil used, and the mileage, you cannot be denied (legally) warranty service. I cannot remember the case, but I believe Volkswagen was the company that lost this case.No one's reported warranty denial for DIY oil changes yet.
If you're really conservative, buy your oil and filter at the dealership and keep the reciepts.
