As far as i know they wont say anything to you directly, but they make a note of it. Im not sure if this is true or not but its just something someone told me.

moved the thread to the proper location

and they will still do service to the car but they might ask you questions about it. Most of the service guys could careless if your car is modded, its the managers that get all fussy about it.

Im pretty sure they wont care about it but they might deny your warranty claim later down the road for the modification

are u talking about getting ur oil changed? if so just do it yourself. Save the time driving there and all the hastle. It can be done in less than a 1/2 hour with the right tools. Dealerships take like 2 hours and then you dont even know if they did it right

well first off if ur small enough you wont need this but you might need ramps or a jack/jackstands. Then you need a ratchet set, oil pan, oil filter + Crush washer, possibly a breaker bar, oil, some rags and thats pretty much it. I may have forgotten something so i'll find that DIY I used.

Edit: ok so this isnt the one i used but its pretty much what to do. http://www.filtsai.com/sti/change_oil/
