Listen champ, I'm not getting into a pissing match with someone on the internet who clearly doesn't know the first thing about what they speak of.
For starters, the dealership does NOT void warranties. They don't even authorize them for that matter. A rep for the manufacturer authorizes and denies them. Now, for a manufacturer to void a warranty (and get negative publicity) they better have a damn good reason to do so. If you neglected your car and the oil got bad enough that they can prove it directly caused some sort of a malfunction then they can (and should) void your warranty based on these findings. This sort of thing is VERY rare contrary to internet gossip however. You're about 15x more likely to find a manufacturer honor a warranty claim that was the cause of owner neglect then you are to find them to deny a claim because of this. It's just good business.
If your oil is sludge then it should have been changed anyway. I'm talking about not changing perfectly good oil here and not trying to run sludge through my engine for an extended period of time. Again, run your car on conventional oil to 5k miles and then for 10k miles on synthetic and then send them both off to be analyzed. Until then you're just talking about something you have no idea of obviously.
Why would you come back to a thread that had been dead for 5 days to throw in your two cents other than to start some sort of petty argument?
