What countries would that be?
That certainly does not apply in THIS country. "Stamp in the book" replaced by on line entry and tracking of work done by Indy or OWNER.
Some Euro countries do this or do you think this is a USA resident forum only? Some companies put dye in the oil as proof spec oil was used and rightfully so.
IMO manufacturers should not be held liable in the form of honoring a warranty when Joe DIY did the service in his driveway with hammers and salad forks using the cheapest crap from a big box store.
Some hammer and salad fork!
Based on your recommendation, thank you, I, (excuse me, I mean Joe DIY), just received this:

I will find your post, if you forgot.
User52165 - it's bizarre that you drag a completely unrelated post in another thread (Trav recommending tool brands) into this one.
I still don't understand your point, but from here, it looks like you're stalking Trav.
Seriously.
This thread is about dealers doing oil changes... Car manufacturers honoring warranties...and how, to Trav's point, The magnuson-moss warranty act doesn't apply in foreign countries, where you CAN be required to have your vehicle service at an authorized dealer in order to preserve your vehicle warranty.
