dealer maintenance advice

I just installed a racechip in my car. I am coming up in the spring for an oil change and whatever else the 3/36 maintenance offers. My car is a 2022 with 11k for miles. At 11k would it just need an oil change or are there other services at that interval that need to be completed? Would you bring it to the dealer with the racechip connected? Would you disconnect it and then bring it in for service? Or just bring it to an independent and pay for an oil change. Appreciate your input.

I would go to a reputable indie shop or do it myself (which is what I did)

Just take it to the dealership, its free.

I wouldn't worry about the race chip since its not a warranty issue.
Regardless now, they will know you had if/when they run the logs.

I would disconnect the RaceChip first since it’s not approved, then go in for service. They will plug in OBD and since you haven’t “flashed” you should not draw the Tuned Flag.
