Welcome TC.
Thanks for the info. So the new oil spec is T6 and no longer MS11106? Also, I agree about tuning. Fed requires CARB certification for any allowable modifications and this is Fed, not state rule. If your state does not have an emissions program you are still required to follow Fed rule for registered vehicles on the street. Eitherway, manufacturer does not have to warranty any aftermarket mod. Good info. Thanks!
FCA
MAY void the warranty instantly if the required label was on the PCM....
Cummins, Cat, Detroit, Volvo, Navistar , Mack all paid millions $ in fines to the EPA for just leaving software programing that deactivate emission devices.
Everything will sell (Thats NON-OE) We remove the Original makers marking and labels ,Place Our labels and state its for RACE use only and may violate other agreements.
The BUYER is solely responsible for all warranty issues from the automotive manufacturer.
Most aftermarket companies follow the Judicial law.. The one's that don't just tighten the laws grip on aftermarket products.
Geez... its not that hard to remove the marking and place the legal label, That's all the laws asking the aftermarket to do. Heck you can place your label over the OE label and you meet the laws requirements.. If the owner removes the label that his responsibility. The Maker followed the law. The law is NOT as ugly as some portrait it to be...the law just wants owners to be aware that some products alter the EPA certification and may NOT meet the standard.
I have been pasting this for years I posted this back in 2012 at the Diesel Place.
Factory Warranty voided
‘Maybe I can clear this UP, GM All makers Must meet the certification REQUIRED by Federal Law. The instant YOU delete ON/OFF road use (The only exception to this law is Race or off road competition) GM or your Dealer cannot (legally) even repair the Vehicle if it has State Plates.
Enforcement is the issue, Many times action is NOT taken when the warranty is voided, This is the parties involved discretion, MAKE NO MISTAKE
YOUR warranty is voided the instant you make defeat or delete steps to any component that’s needed to meet the certification.
Enforcement is the major part of any Law, if No enforcement then it’s a statement, if the parties involved decided to enforce the law it is now binding and absolute.
Your warranty cannot be Voided on all component's that have NO bridge or connection, Example NEW radio cannot void suspension components, but it sure can void ALL electronic communications. Enforcement is the key Part of any law or warranty. When disagreements arise they are generally decide By arbitration or Judge.
Owners are welcome to mods as they Like , But selling products that violate laws and warranties W/O at least stating so is just bad business and tantamount to fleecing.
