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.
I just found it. It's called the "Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act". As a result of a US Supreme court ruling, the Federal Trade Commission wrote and Congress passed this act. Which forbids a manufacturer from claiming that a vehicle's warranty would be void if anything other than the OEM filter is used during the warranty period. If the manufacturer makes such a claim, they are violating federal laws and are subject to "action" from federal authorities.

Hope this helps.
