i'm old school treat you car right. service it when it needs it and these new
motors of today will go 100,000 miles easy...

beat the crap out of it and don't maintain it and your asking for trouble which you will get.......

quick story. at nissan getting oil changed.. tow truck pulls up with brand new
370 it's got 9,000 miles on it with 1 quart of oil in it. owner starts in on service
manager about car locking up.......long story short i think it was 10 grand or more to replace engine. should have seen the look on the guys face when he was told sorry no warranty. sorry to ramble just use a little common sense.

So what happened with this dude? Why was he refused warranty? Was it neglect? or was it something wrong with the engine if it burnt up all that oil? Because if he did his due diligence in changing oil, why was he refused warranty? I mean I know I would (and do) always check fluids 1x or 2x a week, but still, I don't think that was necessary for any other layman owner. So I am curious to know why he was refused warranty.
