FTC Issues Consumer Alert on Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act

It’s illegal for a manufacturer to specify a specific brand of oil

It’s illegal for a manufacturer to suggest they will void a warranty due to some standard additive. This has been one of the most common recurring myths about synthetic oil; that it can somehow void your warranty. Harley Davidson did a particularly good job of perpetrating this misinformation. For example, a manufacturer can specify “20w-50” with a specific set of standards but they CANNOT specify a brand name product, or suggest that other brands will void a warranty. This act is the subject of a recent FTC alert. It’s good information

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently issued a consumer alert clarifying that the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits automobile manufacturers and dealers from denying warranty coverage based on use of an aftermarket product, unless they can show the product caused the damage or was installed incorrectly.

“The FTC’s statement should help those ILMA members, for example, who have decided not to license General Motors’ dexos™ engine oil,” said ILMA counsel Jeff Leiter. “Some ILMA members have complained to me that the automaker has made confusing statements about its new engine oil and warranty coverage for new vehicles. It makes sense to hand a customer a copy of the FTC consumer alert, showing that the use of equivalent products should not affect warranty coverage.”

Amsoil Bypass Filter Install–Ford Expedition

The Dual Remote Filtration System (BMK23) was installed on a 2008 Ford Expedition equipped with a 5.4L V8. Since it’s 2WD, there is a lot of room for mounting in front of the axle, behind the front bumper. The kit comes with all the necessary hardware, but I custom made part of the bracket in order to fi t it where I wanted. A spin-on adapter was used to attach the feed and return lines to the engine. Installing the system behind the front bumper requires no more than 18” of hose for either line. The EaO15 Full Flow Filter and EaBP90 By-Pass Filter used sit well above the frame rails and are easy to get to. System capacity increased from seven quarts to almost nine.

An exciting weekend of racing culminated in Wanderscheid
earning his record fourth AMSOIL World Championship.

The AMSOIL World Championship Snowmobile Derby took place January 13-16 at the AMSOIL Eagle River Derby Track in Eagle River, Wis. and featured one of the most exciting races in the event’s 48-year history, with Team AMSOIL ice oval racer P.J. Wanderscheid coming out on top and making history in the process.

The event kicked off Thursday with practice and time trials, where Wanderscheid clocked in third fastest. Friday featured the Friday Night Thunder program, where pole position in Sunday’s feature race was at stake. After winning his eight-lap heat race, Wanderscheid took the early lead in the 16-lap final and didn’t look back, taking the win, securing the pole position in Sunday’s feature and earning a day of rest and preparation on Saturday.



Wanderscheid celebrates his historic win.

Starting Sunday with practice laps, Wanderscheid clocked in with the fastest time. The World Championship race featured a different format this year, increasing from 25 to 30 laps that were split into two sections. Drivers raced 15 laps, took a five-minute pit session, then resumed the final 15 laps with a staggered start according to how drivers finished the first 15 laps.

Upon the start, AMSOIL-backed driver Gary Moyle jumped out to the early lead with Wanderscheid close behind. Moyle led the entire 15 laps, with Wanderscheid narrowing the gap slightly on lap 13. After the pit stop, Moyle and Wanderscheid thrilled fans with an epic battle for the title as they continually exchanged the lead. Wanderscheid took the lead for good on lap 29, taking the win and going down in history as the only racer to win four AMSOIL World Championships. Moyle took second, followed by ice oval racing legend Jacques Villeneuve.



Martin earned the Pro Stock and Pro Open
final wins on Sunday.

Team AMSOIL found further success on the snocross track, where AMSOIL racers swept the podium at the Friday Night Thunder Pro Stock final, with AMSOIL/Scheuring Speed Sports racer Robbie Malinoski taking the win, followed by AMSOIL/Judnick Motorsports racers Ross Martin and Mike Bauer in second and third respectively. Malinoski also took third in Friday’s Pro Open final behind Justin Broberg and Brett Turcotte.

On Sunday, Martin took the Pro Stock final win, followed by Malinoski in second, Kaven Benoit in third and AMSOIL/Scheuring Speed Sports racer Darrin Mees in fourth. Sunday’s Pro Open final featured an exciting battle between Martin and Turcotte, culminating with an awe-inspiring charge by Martin from the final turn to the finish line for the win. Turcotte finished second, Broberg third and Malinoski fourth.
