Is your vehicle under warranty? Especially if Asian? If so I hope you are saving the recipes with the date on them for your oil and filter, record in the maintenance logs, and keep exact historical records of what you did? If not most likely if you have oil related failure they might not honor the warranty. If out of warranty don't matter.

Basically the dealer manufacturer wants to do and control all maintenance while during the warranty period and of course after. Even though I can do most servicing. I don't while the vehicle under warranty in case there major problem.
First thing they going to scream unaurthized maintenance done which void the warranty.
