Is it true that you can only have the Abarth dealer do the 6k oil/filter change on Esseesse models,you cant take it to anyone else?

Or parts of a similar quality, all written down on page 13 of the warranty/service booklet. Owners of the launch editions may have the earlier service book although the only real difference is pollen filter changes iirc. The details may be on a different page number but will be under the section of how to maintain the warranty.

I have re-titled this thread as a lot of owners will now becoming up on their service and it helps to have a single point of reference.

Considering all this confusion about servicing etc, do you think a sticky topic including what needs doing when with what parts etc at the top of the A500 section would be handy?
