Thats funny I just posted on this in another forum.
YOU WILL HAVE WARRANTY ISSUES IF YOU DIY. (not yelling, more like emphasizing, sorry I just don't want anyone to get screwed)
My cousin blew his RX8 motor. It is still covered under warranty, He takes in the car and the first thing they ask, "do you have proof of maintenance records?" They would not honor the warranty without the proof. So, he said what if I did it myself and they replied "you can't prove that maintenance was done and done correctly if you did it yourself. We don't know if you purchased oil for another vehicle or if you're just bringing in a friends receipt. We have no way of telling anything was done to your vehicle.
Hope this helps. Keep records. keep all receipts. Keep it in a binder in your glove box. It is good to have when and if you decide to sell the vehicle as well.
