Under US law a car manufacturer cannot void your warranty based on the oil you use unless you have a warranty claim and they can show that the oil caused the problem and it wasn't the recommended oil.
Nice lawyer full employment talk.
A manufacturer's representative can deny your warranty claim because he is having a bad hair day. Then the ball is in your court to prove that their "expert" was wrong.
They are much less likely to pull any [censored] if you have documentation showing that you have complied with the full terms of the warranty, recommended and mandatory.
