That is a good question, there is at least one bitog thread starter that says not. A google search of this site starting with 'MicroGreen refuses liability' will lead to the anecdotal thread.
While a vehicle is still under the manufacturer's warranty, anything beyond their oil and/or filter recommendation 'could' put the warranty at risk. In the event of catastrophic engine failure, having coverage by the filter manufacturer would be a must.
That said, some might not care about that thinking it to be a low probability issue. But 'imo', it is a consideration one should at least take into account when or if considering going beyond vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
