I find it perplexing that many people here would argue about filter warranties, and then ignore this topic as if it has no consequences. What an odd bunch of hypocrites some BITOGers are ... - I don't think the topic's being ignored, rather the thread is not going the way you thought it would? Fwiw, ty for pointing this out and it's "interesting" Valvoline doesn't offer a warranty on their consumer products (they do on their "pro" series) but it's doubtful I'll stop using ML after all these years. Real life results are more meaningful to me than some lawyerly worded "warranty" and ML has treated my car right since coming out from warranty nearly 70k years ago. I'm convinced Valvoline knows what they're doing..so unless you use the wrong ATF, lubricant related failures are just exceedingly rare.
