Going in for an oil change

Quick question for all of you that get your car serviced at Suby of Santa Cruz. I have a GFB BOV and was wondering if you guys think they would hassle me if I came in to get an oil change with it installed? I am waiting for my 60k warrenty to expire so I can start doing modifications and I don't want to terminate it early.
What do you think?

Hello, check the terms of the Customer for life program. Free oil changes last for 3yrs or 60K miles. As for the blow off valve, it won't void the warrinty...it is pointless to have a big BOV unless the turbo is not stock, which will void warrinty, but other than that they are just expensive noisemakers.
