My first oil change was free by the selling dealer. It has been my practice, and will continue to be with this car, to have the dealer do maintenance until the warranty is up -at that pointthey cannot blame me or someone else for any problems which may develop.

If there winds up being any damage to your engine, you must hold them accountable and responsible. Being in the military, I have traditionally always done my own oil changes on base, where you can rent the tools and lift. However, my current assignment has me nowhere near a base. I take it to the local oil change joint for my Mobil-1, and I get out of the car and watch them. They look at me like, "What, don't you trust us?" and shoot back a look as to say, "Nope!".
