Should be fine, and at least you have that warranty for piece of mind. Enjoy it this weekend!

Re: just picked up my h3 after getting head replaced
For those who had there head done,I assume they change the oil/filter and coolant .
Did anyone get a hard time getting them to use synthetic oil,or did you let them know before hand?.
I dont trust the dealers and some of the monkeys they got working for them.

How can they not change it  . When you remove the head you would contaminate the oil and coolant.Usually coolant gets into the oil upon removal.
The dealer should know better.

Re: just picked up my h3 after getting head replaced
My invoice showed an oil change, filter & coolant. Latest onstar report confirmed the new oil life.

I agree, in fact, GM pays them to change the oil AND the coolant after a cylinder head removal.
From the Service Manual:
57. Install NEW engine oil. Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications .
58. Install NEW coolant. Refer to Draining and Filling Cooling System .
However, all they will be paid for is GM authorized coolant and oil; therefore, getting them to add synthetic will be up to the dealer.
If the head job is done correctly (such as new torque-to-yield bolts used where required, torque is applied correctly, valves are lapped correctly into the new head, it will be as good as new. The quality of any repair is dependent upon the technician performing the job.

Re: just picked up my h3 after getting head replaced
I figured they would have to change the fluids.  Yey! dealer does something right. 
Im sure if you were using synthetic they would replace with same ,im sure they know its not good to go back to regular oil after synthetic.
I think Im just planning ahead for for a head replacement
