Thank you gm!

[109G8GT]

Did anyone else get a full year of maintenance for free in the mail? It includes oil, tire rotations, and 27 point check 4 times good until dec 2010. Pretty cool because an oil change cost almost 80 dollars in oil!

[GM_Fan]

Nope...not yet. hope I get one in the mail as well.

[99-LS1-SS]

I got mine.

[109G8GT]

I got mine.

Nice! I bet they do not use synthetic though. But that's ok I'm every 3 months or 3k so 4 free ones with conventional wont do any harm.

[MGM GT]

If I get one I'll give it to someone that can use it.

[djo165]

I got a coupon for one free oil change/tire rotation from GM/Pontiac, but not for four. Hmmmmm.

[Devilish34]

Not yet bet I did get 2k from my GM card to use towards a new GM hmmm

[WickedMom]

ahem!

[109G8GT]

I think its a good deal, problem is there is no other gm auto that I would want. Also no service they can talk me into that i would have to pay for.

[19out]

yes

[chipman283]

I got mine yesterday, you can't use it on any other car it has a vin # on it.

[109G8GT]

Yes my vin is in the upper right hand corner.

[GeoffA]

Yup, got mine...

[richm52]

I just got one for my 1999 Grand Prix nothing yet for my G8.

[69project]

Yes, I got mine yesterday and used it today. That covered $86 bucks worth of service.

Yes, they do use synthetic so no GM is not being a cheapskate, they have to use what they recommend. This benny thrown our way is to entice us to remain with GM even they scalped Pontiac as one of the GM brands. No worries from me as I always buy a GM product (even though I was sorely tempted by the Dodge Challenger and Charger when they first came out).

Take advantage of it, the way I look at it, it's about $400 in owner loyalty cash. I don't know of anyone giving out free cash other than the government with its bailouts. Will this work to keep everyone in the GM fold? No of course not, but if it causes you to walk around the showroom and look at their product, who knows maybe you will want something else new from them or something used off the dealer lot. That's all GM wants out of this deal.

[WickedMom]

Yes, they do use synthetic so no GM is not being a cheapskate, they have to use what they recommend.

It says in the paperwork we got on the program to use whatever oil is used in the factory fill.

[IstoleherG8]

do you have to use it at the dealership the car was purchased at? just asking since i bought my car 300 miles away

[Timmins G8GT]

Can someone tell me if this is only a U.S. deal or will GM Canada offer this. I'm not getting my hopes up.

[JPEGXP]

Yup I got mine today as well!

[G8GT594]

Not I....

[mjf232]

got mine today and it looks like you can use it at other dealers, not just the one you bought it at. Just wondering if they'll give synthetic as I use Mobil 1.

[KaheeNalu]

Wow...got mine today...funny thing is I was up for maintenance and was planning to schedule this week...wooo hooo.

[elilozano28]

me too my wifes g8 gt was up for an oil change and i already went for the oil change yep it was for free and have 3 more to go

[whitehot09]

got mine today, 4 services before end of 2010. They state on mine they will rotate the tires as well .Sweet, I really could use some comp. services. My decision to buy my G8 just keeps getting better and better. Thanks GM!!!

[Punisher]

got mine in yesterday just hope they will use Mobil 1

[travis gore]

not me:cry::cry:

[Smthkd]

I haven't got it either! :mad:

[Chooch]

Got mine, dealer has used Mobil 1 from first change since. I will see if they do the full cost, even if I have to lay out 20 bucks, I cant complain

[draven]

Ok, so a lot of people are asking the same question with no definitive answer yet: Do they actually use Mobil 1?

According to the paperwork the dealers got, they have to use the factory fill. Does anyone know if the factory fill was Mobil 1?

Anybody? Anybody? Beuller?

[BlackGT5]

If they use "factory filled" oil, it will be Mobil 1 on the GXP only. The V6's and GT's did not come with synthetic from the factory.

Factory fill is NOT Mobile 1.

A member on another board requested synthetic oil, and the dealer said they can only use conventional oil. So the member called the GM rep and the rep told the dealer to give the customer whatever oil they want at no charge. So if the dealer refuses to use synthetic oil just have them call the local GM rep.

[nono50]

I had the service done to my GXP todayand what the dealer told me was they put the type of oil that was on the cap on the engine. So if I had a GT I would be putting the Mobil 1 cap from the GXP on my car. The owners manaul does not specifically say that the LS3 uses Mobil1. I made sure this is what went back in my car.

[DRCUSTOMPARTS]

I have a custom aluminum oil cap that says L76 on it, so I have no intentions of swapping to a plastic GXP cap. I'll just call the rep like the other member did if they refuse to put synthetic in my GT.

[99-LS1-SS]

There are a few reasons why I'll not be taking advantage of this offer.

1. I've got too many mods and I'd be red flagged for sure around here.
2. They won't use synthetic oil
3. The dealership won't touch my car unless absolutely necessary.

[DRCUSTOMPARTS]

You can always give your coupon to someone that doesn't get one. I would imagine if someone didn't buy their car at a GM dealer they won't get one.

[99-LS1-SS]

Is it VIN or owner specific?

[DRCUSTOMPARTS]

It's just a generic coupon that can be used at any GM dealer for any GM car.

[99-LS1-SS]

So it isn't even G8 specific?!

[DRCUSTOMPARTS]

I'm sorry I was wrong, there's a VIN number in small print in the upper right hand corner. So it is vehicle specific.

with the GXP they HAVE to use synthetic. See if you can just use the coupon and take the oil and filter for free... then the dealer doesnt have to pay a tech to do the work.

[DRCUSTOMPARTS]

Now that's thinkin' with you're dipstick Mom!

[WickedMom]

hey.. keep your dipstick out of my thread.... oh and check your pm's

[Punisher]

I called a delearship today and they said they arent putting the synthetic oil with those coupons but if I wanted I could pay what would be the difference of the conventional oil to the Mobil 1 oil...

[DRCUSTOMPARTS]

Call the local rep and they will tell the dealer to use synthetic, it worked for another member.

[Chooch]

I will do that if they balk, but my luck with my dealer has been great. Even with the LCA ball join issues, they got the car fixed fast and gave me a loaner to use every time. As is I get charged 79.99 for the Mobil 1 change which is not a bad deal when you consider even at mart, the Oil alone is like close to 50 bucks, add in 7 or so for the filer and net is I pay 20 bucks for some one to deal with it. Plus they do the Ball Joint check and Tranny fluid check every time.

[nono50]

The Hendrick Pontiac GMC dealership yesterday did take this certificate and they did put Mobile 1 in my car. I also asked what told them to use Mobile1 and I was told what was on your cap is what they used. I also watched them put Mobile1 in and the wo also states Mobile1. So if you have a GXP they will put Mobil1 in your car. I did not pay nothing too.

[g8sponge]

Received my certificate today. VIN is on it. Good call on BYOO WickedMom! I just changed my oil two weeks ago. Rotated three weeks ago. I totally thought I got burned. I can use the freed up time to install my headers.

So as long as you have the Mobil 1 Cap huh...:secret:

[tptboy]

got mine!

[WickedMom]

THEY HAVE TO PUT MOBIL1 IN THE GXPs!


there also is a footnote in the dealer paperwork that says dealers ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHARGE THE CUSTOMER FOR ANYTHING. Period, end of story.

[WickedMom]

I heard it on the internet... it must be true.

[schwartz]

Once again i'm too lazy to read all the posts, but anyways when we purchased our G8 they offered 1 year maintanence for free or they said if we didnt want that they would knock off a thousand bucks from the sticker price.We took the grand off because I maintain my own vehicles at my shop,plus I don't want anybody touching this car but me,or at least I wanna be standing there watching someone else work on my ride.

[WickedMom]

This has nothing to do with your dealership. This is from the General.

[schwartz]

The General? I don't get it..oh well.But still...just the thought of having someone else work on my car worries me.

[WickedMom]

Thats cool...so if I request Mobil 1, I should get Mobil 1 without a problem

No. You guys don't read too much, do you? There is nothing from GM saying that the GTs came factory filled with synthetic oil. They require natural oil.... so unless your dealership is in the spirit of giving away money, you should get natural.

Got mine in the mail today. Good for a yr and 4 oil changes, tire rotation, an 27 piont inspection.

Moved from TSB forum.

Still waiting! No free oil changes for me still :mad:

[jaxredg8]

Me either. Guess we should have bought gxp's Smthkd!

By the way, JK you guys and gals!

nope they dont they tried to charge me 90 buck for full synthetic, so i did it myself

[AUGAH]

Received mine in the mail today.

[Punisher]

Bump.

Has anyone used theirs yet?

I went today and told them to make sure that they put Mobil 1 in her because thats what she had already. So he wrote down Mobil 1 in the sign in paperwork and just said, no problem, thats what these V8's take.

After the car came out of the shop I asked the guy that did the service what oil he used and he said, Mobil 1.

Where did you take it? Sounds like where I need to go!

[strikerblueg8gt]

yes about a week ago

[Punisher]

I took it to David Taylor on 59S

[Jag]

Got mine a few weeks back, the 4 free oil changes. Took it in today and asked them about mobil 1 and they said no problem didn't cost me a cent. The sevice man told me they are writting it off as warranty work so that's why the dealers are not losing the money. Really good people at my dealer plus there was 2 other g8's doing the same thing so got to shot the breeze with some other g8er's. Cool day!

Hi WickedMom,

Thanks for supplying this great info. to us all here on the website. Unfortunately, the "General" seems not to wander too far North lately as I have not received anything from him yet relating to this offer. I'm thinking it may not apply to Canada. I'll have to check with my dealership to see what's up.

:Canada:
