Does Redline engine oil void Warranty?

In a nutshell, any good-quality oil will be OK. As long as the oil meets specs (SAE, ASTM, API, &c), you'll be just fine with the warranty. See Owner's Manual

I'm sure it far exceeds the specs,what worries me is if it has the required certification

As long as you stay away from the bargain bin, any good-quality or better oil will be within warranty specs. Most, if not all, Redline oils for DDs are in the or better category.

When in doubt, the required standards are listed in the OM/FSM and the oil bottles will have a list of the standards they meet. It's not complicated - group, service class, &c.
