There was a collective "WHA??" on everyones' face in the shop that day. She may have made it longer had it not been below 0 in Wyoming at the time.
Don't complicate things by trying to apply logic to what automakers, or dealerships do. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble.
Would be nice to have real official documentation of this warranty replacement in the event that you have warranty engine work denied and you have performed all the necessary maintenance.....
I do not know what fantasy world where the required maintenance is performed and warranty is denied but do not let anyone else in there.
