Any reason you changed it so early? If you wanted to clean out any contaminants from a new engine, 1000 miles would have been better.

Would the dealer ever ask me for evidence for oil changes?
Yes.

Quote:
And Is this sufficient evidence to give if the dealer ask for evidence of oil change?
No.

Quote:
Any suggestions on how to obtain evidence if i already did the oil change?
Change it again and this time lock up the receipts.

From experience: my Matrix toasted an engine at 97k miles while under a 100k warranty. "Oil starvation", which was later determined to be likely a dead oil pump as the car was full. I had always changed the oil myself, on time, and they asked for receipts, which I had. The claim was approved the same day. Without them I would have been sunk.
