Have you ever had to document oil changes to get factory warranty work performed? I haven't.
When I worked for a Ford dealer, we refused to warranty a vehicle because the oil was not changed. As in...ever. Seized up at about 30K miles, lol
That said, if you have an engine issue that can be traced to oil starvation or any other issue, your maintenance history WILL be called into question, and some form of paper-trail indicating proper intervals will be required or warranty can be denied.

It's just as cheap to have your oil change at the dealer nowdays as doing it your self unless you like climbing under your car or truck. Me I'm to old for that anymore I pay and let someone else, and I use synthetic I change my oil 2x a year or every 7,500 miles. That way it's in the dealers database.
Save receipt for the oil and filter, write milaege and date on back.
