I can't tell you about the numbers, but my oil life says I'm down to 16%. My car has never been serviced yet, but I think I'll take it in and have the dealership do it the first time, pay the price, but I'll also have a record for my service.
I thought that there was a service schedule that new cars had to have to maintain their warranty?

I let mine take up to an hour draining, but I usually have nothing else going on so I'm not in a hurry.

Remember people GM is hurting! Warranty is one expense they are trying to reduce! Keeping doucumentation can only protect you.

Number is not good. No history, zip, nothing. Probably a dealership internal number for oil. I would call the dealer.
Just had my oil changed at the dealer, and saw them using NAPA synthetic, which is NOT on the GM4718 (high performance) approved list. Needless to say, I was not satisfied and the issue was corrected.

dknopp is correct that is not a GM part number. But we don't use a GM part number either since all oil quantities are billed at the same price and it comes in bulk. But if it is a synthetic we use the Mobil 1 part number which is 12346184.

If you do your own, I would suggest keeping receipts of the oil and filter purchases and keeping a record of when you did the service. With powertrain warranty they may be needed as proof that you maintained the vehicle. READ YOUR WARRANTY BOOKS!
