Dealership put in Zmax during an oil change

OMG I'd be so upset. I sometimes wonder if I'm just being a snot with my attitude of never trusting dealership service departments. Then I hear about something like this.

Sorry dude, I'm not sure what to tell you in terms of advice. I doubt there's any correlation with the CEL though. I'd be very surprised if an oil additive triggered a CEL. Although I guess anything is possible.

I'm with Semtex on this. I honestly don't trust any dealership to do anything up to snuff. I think they are only good for purchasing the car but after that, I'll arrange everything on my own, elsewhere! Some might think i'm just being a "snot" or over-protective but I work very hard to obtain all my motor vehicles and take great pride in them and don't wish to jeopardize them needlessly by letting those re-tards touch them.

I don't know enough to know how it could have tripped a CEL though.

Screw that. You didnt request it they didnt offer before hand and now your car is throwing an error light.. Tell me you have it in writing they added this crap to your oil. Now go back to the dealership and ask to talk to the dealer manager. Ask him to explain to you why this happened on a 34k vehicle. Now tell him what are you going to do for me to compensate for any unknown damages that may occur or have occured because of this. Lastly my favorite. Tell him you want an upgrade to a nismo edition or your going to report his dealership to the better business bureau and contact a lawyer.
Just my opinion. (fcukers)
