As I mentioned before your best bet is to get a UOA as there are a lot of engine assembly lubes that are still being cleaned out. Plus a UOA will tell you if the metal wear is damaging or normal for the engine during break in and if the rings and pistons are seating.

The MM Act does nothing to protect you. If the manufacturer decides to deny your warranty claim it's on you to take up the legal fight. It almost always ends up cheaper to just pay for repairs on your own than pay the legal fees it takes to fight a big company.
