Following GM guidelines is not only good for warranty cases, but it's also usually good for your car since GM tests the cars with these guidelines, which is why I try to adhere to. I've been driving at the track for about 10 years, and I am yet to make a warranty claim or blow up an engine. If you keep your engine mostly stock, they usually hold up.

I've seen a recent example of a 100% stock C7 vette being completely replaced by GM because of transmission overheating issues on the track.
However, the 1LE isn't a vette, and most of the guys talking about oil temps on this forum are not stock. I'm not sure how to define "mostly" stock.
