So when my dealership did my first service and they did not use the recommended 10w30 they voided my warranty!?

What did they use? Fish oil?
Don't they show that on the work order?
"4 quarts Cod Liver Oil"
"1 Cotton Wad Filter"
I service all my own bikes and keep records of the purchases of oil, filters, and other items. So I know for sure what was poured in. My bikes only have a one-year warranty anyway and one of 'em is up, the others will be up soon. So if they break after that it's on me anyway.
But back to the car...if the guy had a deal for free maintenance (many dealers do this now for at least two years) then they gotta use the oil recommended by the manufacturer, not whatever they have layin' around, or whatever's convenient. So that ain't right and the guy was smart to find another dealership. And he'd have had a good case to make to Nissan Corporate about this.
And anyhoo it's just plain stoopid for a service department to say they would refuse to use the oil that is clearly recommended on the oil filler cap!
