However, from a legal standpoint, if there are any modifications (noted by the warranty service provider), the manfacturer can (and often does) deny a warranty claim, and the person filing the claim then has to take it to court, and prove to a judge that the manufacturer is liable.

The oil cooler statement was more to the fact that they cannot void your warranty just because you installed the oil cooler. Meaning, they cannot void it because you installed it even if you are not in for repairs. Ex: You are getting your tires rotated and they see it, they cannot void the warranty, they just will not cover it. Now if a problem with oil occurs then they can attack that issue.
