i had the oil leak and told them maybe it was the oil cooler from what i read on here...they didnt hesitate to do it under warranty but a whole new oil cooler and seals didnt do a damn thing. they didnt bother to pinpoint the problem. always a super thin quarter sized layer of oil on the ground every time i park. thinking its def pan gasket...theres oil all over the enter block down from the gasket. strange thing is its only a slight sweat. even with thte blower i had and constant 9 psi shit pouding i have never needed to add any over the 3 years i owned it....catch can included. will be bringing it in again before warranty runs out. ill report back.

I've heard lots of stories about 3rd party warranties sucking. They're in business to make money which means deny as many claims as possible. Waste of money if you ask me.

I'm not sure oil leaks are even covered under the powertrain warranty anyway are they?

I had the oil pan gasket replaced under warranty just before my 5 year warranty expired.
I was told it would have been $2,000.00 if expired. 3 day job at the dealer and even
a front end alignment was needed as the front rack must be removed to get to the engine.
