They can't hold you responsible for DIY oil changes short of it being obvious, such as not putting in a drain plug or too much oil. Also, Ester is not a requirement. |

That *is* in direct conflict with the Fergusson-Moss Act, and it's intended use...to prevent dealer tie-in sales and requirements to keep a warranty. Ford Truck requries Ford Oil, and must be performed at a Ford Dealership to maintain warranty.....for example |

That, I'm sure is related to their testing, and establishing a very common foundation between their test environment, and what the mechanic will do - in otherwords, if they don't do it, they can't guarantee the results simply because they haven't tested it with other oils. Makes sense...from a scientific standpoint. |

There is a Nissan TSB that says to use Nissan's Ester oil when a customer is complaining about excessive valvetrain noise. Nissan also has a bunch of marketing verbiage as to why everyone should be using their Ester oil, but the only real practical reason that they seem to have is to reduce valvetrain noise, not to reduce oil temps or eliminate the need for an oil cooler if you're tracking your car. |
