OK - since the 2009's come with a lifetime powertrain warranty, and if you have an extended warranty -- will you void either warranty by not changing every 3K miles as recommended? I have heard that, if you don't get oil changes from dealers, you'll have to provide proof that you've changed the oil as recommended by schedule - and if you can't prove or haven't - they can refuse to honor your warranty.

I am getting oil samples to go along with my 6k oil to be sure it is still good.

The carbon was where exactly? In the cylinders, crank case, or every where?
Why did the engine blow?
Please be more specific.

Well, I now have my answer. I have 2200 miles on mine and am leaving for a road trip next month. My original question was or would have been "should I have it changed before I leave. Now I know I will.
I know the dealer uses bulk oil. How can I be sure he uses 5w20? Thanks everyone.

The dealers will put the proper oil in they know what your truck needs and allways use the right oil cause if they dont it can cause the CEL to come on and the MDS not to operate.
