So, unless they give you the filters for free, the dealer cannot deny warranty work because of after market parts, unless THEY can prove it caused a failure.

Spouting the MM act is all well and good and it's done all the time here. Unfortunately, in the REAL world, they can deny anything they want if they feel your aftermarket part caused a failure..This puts it back on the consumer to PROVE the part was not the cause. Got money for an expert witness and time to pursue this? All this on your dime through a lengthy court procedure BTW......
