So, you are thinking about upgrading to Motrlube so that your vehicle will last longer, you can save money by not having to change the oil as much and you can help lessen the environmental damage caused by petroleum oil being dumped. But, you’re worried about putting the vehicle’s warranty at risk. It’s no wonder. How many times have you heard someone at a dealership or on a TV ads say that installing aftermarket equipment or using synthetic oils automatically voids the warranty? This common misconception has been repeated often enough to be widely believed – though it is completely false.
Well, you don't have to worry. Motrlube far exceeds the manufacturers warranty. You are also protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty & Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act, Section 2302(a) which means your warranty will stand when you use Synthetic Lubricants. Vehicle manufacturers recommend lubricants according to their viscosity grade and service classification. Any oil, whether it’s conventional petroleum motor oil or synthetic that meets the correct viscosity grade, 5W-30 for example, and the current API SL and ILSAC GF-3 North American service classifications may be used without affecting warranty coverage.
Many high end manufacturers such as BMW, Volkswagen, Corvette, Porshe, Mercedes Benz and Audi, among others, are using synthetic or semi synthetic oil as a factory fill.
