I think their "proof" is the fact that they are established expert and you will have the burden of disproving the "expert". For most people that's unlikely.
I seriously doubt you would have a problem in warranty anyway. Myself, I have never had a oil related problem in anything that I own, but I don't believe I could go one on one against the dealer and win, even though I have the credentials of an "expert" myself.
Just be aware that if you chose not to follow the manufacturers maintenance schedule, you may have problems with warranty covering a repair.

Oh I've been there. There's not a buffet within 30 miles of my house that I haven't plundered. Just surprised someone else on here has been there.

OP -- just change your own oil. Keep your receipts for documentation.
