Aftermarket companies do. And to say that not using OEM filters voids a warranty is like saying that there is no filters made that will. (Part of the ruling from the courts.)

I suggest you go elsewhere. They're telling you a lie (and they should know it).
Man, if you could find that ruling, I'd love a link to it. I'm kind of a d*** and like to shove a paper in someone's face when they're trying to throw b.s. in my face.

It cracks me up that they try to make people think that they make their own filters and oil. They don't even make all of the moving parts in their cars. No one does anymore.
