Catastrophic event happens that I logically know has nothing to do with the extended OCI so feel justified in presenting my documentation to the dealership.
How could a dealership deny coverage? Said another way if I choose to do my own OCs a receipt is all I will every have even if I change the oil more often than recommended by the MM - how would the dealership ever make heads or tails of it?
In that scenario the dealer wouldn't deny coverage, but you would be committing fraud.
Yes, and that is bad...agreed.
