Unless it's determined the non OE filter was the cause of engine damage.
This would become and issue for the filter manufacturer then, not you personally. There is no risk running an aftermarket filter on a warrantied car.
If i remember correctly the OEM filters (at least in the recent past) had very low filtration numbers.
True, it is an issue for the filter mfg but the car mfg is not under any obligation to subrogate the warranty claim. Read the M-M Act.
The filter mfg isn't a co-warrantor...the vehicle mfg can and will deny YOUR claim, forcing you (the aggrieved party) to seek relief from the responsibile party (aggrievor (sp)) for the damages. If you try and go after the vehicle mfg they're going to tell you to shake a leg, your beef isn't with them and they're not going to be on the hook for damages done by a non OE part.
Again, read the entire Act.
