Has anyone on this website had this done to them personally or actually know someone that has filed a warranty claim and had an oil analysis done on their vehicle?
I am not talking friend of a friend or I heard of this guy that had his warranty claim denied. But someone you actually know that had a warranty claim denied due to using the wrong oil viscosity or weight.
I personally follow what the manufacturer recommends very closely. Sometimes, I might slip some 0w40 in the Silverado or use 0w20 instead of 5w20 in the Honda Civic. But don't think I am about to challenge the engineers as to which oil weight is the best for my vehicles. Just curious as to actual experiences with warranty claims.
