I'm looking to see if someone can confirm that changing the oil on my car will not void the warranty (I'm in Canada). Links for proof would be nice or get an idea where to look for such things.

This post talks about the United States, and I assume that it should be the same as in Canada.

I've done it in the past with our older car, but I started when the warranty had expired. I feel comfortable doing it on the new car, however, don't want to run the risk of voiding the warranty.

You could call your dealership and ask them. They may try to talk you out of it and get you to come in, don't get suck into that. I have warranty at a Subaru dealership here and they said it's all good if I do my own oil changes, but I have to keep the receipts/records of it.

In case something does go wrong with your motor, at least you will have proof of all your oil changes. Certain dealerships may have different policies though so it wouldn't hurt calling them up.
