Nope. Going to something else will not void your warranty. Even performing the service yourself will not void your warranty. Just keep receipts and buy a service manual. I run Redline and I have a 5 year extended warranty on my scoot.

I should have mentioned - jack something up during that service and the dealer sees that you made a mistake.... THAT could cause your warranty to be void.

No. But I recommend a good 20w50 motorcycle rated oil you can get at AAP or Autozone. Dino or Synthetic. Use a quality oil filter like the Harley filter or K&N and make sure it has the anti-drain back valve like the Harley filter does. Do keep a log of date & mileage of each oil change and all receipts for parts & oil so you can prove you actually did do the required service. I would chaneg dino every 3000 miles or one year and synthetic every 5000 miles or one year.
