It is my understanding that there is a law, do not remember name I'll
search later, that states something along the lines that if a
dealer/manufacture deams an aftermarket product to void a warrenty and
refuse work because of the product they were supposed to supply the
correct item free of charge. I.E., if the colder spark plug is found in
an engine and the dealer says this voids warrenty they have to supply
the proper plugs free of charge. I'm not quoting and this is to the best
of my memory. I have seen this posted on various websites in the past.
Unless someone beats me to it I'll
post later when I find. I think it has something to do with the name
"Magnuson" or something along those lines.
