I'm asking because my dealer said that I couldn't use my own oil because it will void the warranty. Another dealer told me it wouldn't and didn't know what the first dealer was talking about.
So does anyone know for sure that changing your oil with approved oil will/will not in fact void the warranty?

Replace the engine oil, and filter. Change the activated charcoal filter for A/C/. Anyone can do.
13 other maintenance things, the dealer just looks at if you want to pay 50+hourly/fee. You can check your own tire pressure. If your wiper are smearing, you need new wiper blade refills. You light, and horn work, heater etc. You can take your car to any tire store, and have the tires looked at, for wear free. I don't think you'll need brakes, unless your a taxi driver, or race the car. Modern cars today need very little service. 20,000 miles service has a lot more thing to cover.
Look at the Scheduled Maintenance Guide booklet that came with the car.
