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.
I keep meticulous records of mileage, dates and receipts for oil and filters installed. I've been doing the same thing for 46 years with no dealer problem........yet. Knock on wood.
