Warranties and the Magnuson-Moss
Act
First I'll post a link to a summary of the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975,
so if you would like to read
it you can find it here.
This is what the Magnuson-Moss
Warranty Act is.
You are interested in
 motor oil,
but you are concerned that using
a synthetic oil
or extending your vehicle's drain interval
"will void your warranty."
You have no
need for concern.
In 1975, Congress proposed and
passed the federal Magnuson-Moss Act
to regulate written consumer
product warranties.
Gerald Ford Signed that bill into
public law January 4th, 1975;
with an effective date of July 4th
1975.
... and has not been
revised.
Nor has Congress seen fit to repeal this Federal
Law.
It is still in effect today - NO matter how it is that
people/new car dealer service people act.
An examination of the Magnuson-Moss Act
reveals
that warranties remain intact when
Synthetic Lubricants and filters are used.
The law was meant
to give consumers detailed information about warranty coverage before they
buy.
Congress charged the Federal Trade Commission
with creation of the specifics of the law.
Direct
complaints to the FTC at (202) 326-3128.
The FTC set down three rules under the ACT:
the Disclosure Rule, the Pre-Sale Availability
Rule and the Dispute Resolution Rule.
These rules require warrantors to title their
written warranty as either "full" or "limited,"
and
provide a single clear and easy -to-read document that
spells out certain information about coverage and
ensure that warranties are available where the products
are sold so that consumers can read them before
buying.
In passing the
Act,
* Congress meant
to give consumer access to warranty
information,
*
To let consumers comparison shop for
warranties,
* To
encourage warranty competition,
* And to promote timely and complete performance
of warranty obligations.
While the Magnuson-Moss Act does not require
manufacturers to provide a written warranty. It does provide
specific rules when one is provided.
Among these
provisions, FTC regulations state:
"(c) No warrantor
of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of
such product on the consumer's using, in connection with such product, any
article or service
(other than article or service provided without charge
under the terms of the warranty)
which is identified by
brand, trade, or corporate name;
except by the prohibition
of this subsection may be waived by the Commission if -
((1) the warrantor satisfied the Commission that the
warranted product will function properly only if the article or service so
identified is used in connection with the warranted product,
and
(2) the Commission finds that such a waiver is in the public
interest." ((42 U.S.C.2302 (c))
That means your warranty stands when you use
or any other equally high performing lubricants and
filters.
Vehicle manufacturers recommend lubricants according to
their viscosity grade and service classification.
Any
oil, whether it's conventional petroleum motor oil or synthetic, meeting
the correct viscosity grade , 5-30 for example, and the current API SL and
ILSAC GF03 North American service classifications may be used without
affecting warranty coverage. Amsoil motor oils are recommended to
use in applications requiring these specifications.
For more information on American Petroleum Institute
licensing ...
Please call Amsoil at >
Furthermore, the practice of extending oil drain
intervals does not void warranties.
Original equipment manufacturers
pay or deny warranty claims based on the findings of failure
analysis. To affect the vehicle warranty, the lubricant must be
directly responsible for the failure.
If the oil/lubricant did not
cause the problem the warranty cannot be voided,
REGARDLESS
of
Brand, Organic or Synthetic makeup or length of time in use.
Synthetic engine oil was introduced to the U.S.
automotive motoring public in 1972 by Amsoil Inc.,
with the world's first
American Petroleum Institute (API) rated synthetic motor oil -
specially
formulated for long service and superior performance and protection as
compared to conventional refined crude oils.
Over 35 years ago,
Inc.
represented a vision of the future and technology ahead of their
time.
Since then every major manufacturer has introduced synthetic
oils of their own.
To be sure, many original equipment
manufacturers would like you to believe you can only use their
products.
However, Doing so -
that is to say that: telling
a person that "they must only use the dealer's line of
products"
is a violation of the consumer protections set forth in
the Magnuson-Moss Act,
(Unless the dealer is willing
to provide YOU those products - completely free of charge - Labor not
included)
(You pay the labor ... if you want them
to do your vehicle's oil change and document the work performed with
them.)
Inc. offers a warranty that covers the cost of repair or replacement
of a proven mechanically sound engine
damaged as a result of using
synthetic lubricants and filters.
However
... it has never happened.
In Over 35 years of selling and
installing Amsoil products
there has never been a bone-fide lubrication
failure of an engine that
has died - simply because of poor or
decayed lubricant quality.
Surely, there are claims. Yes about 24 failures
across the US every year ...
And Amsoil does investigate every one of
them.
To date, there have been antifreeze and fuel
contaminations.
There have been engines or turbos that have allowed the
engine lubricants
to become totally consumed and the oil pans
empty.
But ZERO verifiable claims of Amsoil product failure in 35
years.
Inc. further backs it's products with action when a Dealer or
customer reports
being told their warranty is voided if they use
synthetics.
If YOU have been told by any dealer or dealer rep
-
Or
If YOU have heard from any member of a business that the
use of
Inc.
synthetic engine oils or the practice of
extending drain intervals will void warranties,
Please, send
all the details including the name of the business,
business
owner or manager and the individual making the claims
in a signed
and dated letter.
Send the letter to:
Amsoil Building
Technical Service Dept.
Superior,
Wisconsin 54880
Making assertions that essentially slander the Good Name
and Reputation of any one
person or Corporate identity or it's products
with out factual cause and merit
can by itself result in Civil
Suits into the Millions for illegal business practices,
lost
business and defaming of one's Business reputation.

Among countless others worldwide rely on the
"State of the Art"
"Spectra-analysis" to
accurately test and report
"the real world conditions" of
every engine,
transmission or gear box
that
lubricants are used to protect moving parts.
Spectra-analysis is the bottom line
authority
to either know that:
An Engine or
transmission failed ...
Or it's
lubricant.
Every thing else that is said
...
before that report in hand is had to
view
is either ignorance of real
facts ... or fear talking.
With neither party
really knowing much about what they are saying ...
but just listen
to them talk.
Even after the "service reps are shown that the
oil has not failed ...
it takes their bosses
to tell them to make
the repair under warranty."
They simply can not get their minds
wrapped around the fact >>>
that something else other than the engine oil
or
transmission oil is responsible for parts
failing.
Design Flaws, Engineering and
Production of parts with low life spans,
defective materials or just
plain poor factory workmanship
can all result in warranty claims ...
but who do you think is going to pay for it all?
Recalls when
there are safety issues.
Campaigns for 1 year to satisfy the
masses
Who might cry "foul" over so many tens
of
thousands of vehicles all having the same
problems.
If they can get away with it
...
and if you do not use
Spectra-analysis
every time there is an engine failure
...
Don't you believe that the little
man is going to have his butt put into a sling ... ?
... By either having to pay for a
new/remanufactured
or used engine or transmission
...
Here is one example of court
settled complaints and a class action lawsuit
for the little man. 1997 - 2002 Various
Toyota vehicles >
Story
Here.
Or by the higher price that he has to pay
when the
vehicle he was driving now has nearly no value at all when it
explodes
and he has to
buy or lease another vehicle to keep on going.
The most of us who
sell synthetic lubricants do believe that the little man
follows the lead of the mass marketeers and truly does not have a
clue
As to what he/she or they as a couple should really do to provide
excellent health care for their automobiles.
We believe that the difference
between synthetic lubricants
and refined petroleum engine oils is so great ...
that the guys who place their engines in the room with some 18 or 20
others
and performed the task of pulling
the oil plugs on all the engines
Draining the engine oil out of every engine -
Running them until every one locks
up ...
Drives home our point.
EVERY Single petroleum oil on the
world market can NOT
Perform like synthetic lubricants do.
If it were so,
If it were really so that
petroleum oil was actually good or better to use
than synthetic lubricants ...
Then the engine that had synthetic
engine oil in it would have locked up first
and it would have been a race to see
which one of the petroleum lubricated engine oils
would have been the last man standing.
You will also notice >>>
That these guys who were showing their product against
Known inferior petroleum engine oils ...
Made no effort whatsoever
to show their particular synthetic engine lubricants to be compared
to the world's top claiming synthetic lubricant products.
No! They made sure that
their product came out on top -
Because EVERY petroleum engine oil is inferior by design.
We believe you may not ever get your
mind wrapped around
a guaranteed & insured product
that will
never be the cause of your vehicle's problems.
UNLESS YOU TRY It
& prove to yourself just how it is ... !!!!
It is the silver bullet that you are
hoping and praying for ...
Inc. flatly says that their products
will
NEVER be the reason you have
a lubrication
failure -
Period.
