Yeah I saw that little gem in there too. That line is there to clearly
cover their ass in situations where a manufact. will refuse warranty
work because of "lack of proper maintenance" - customer says "but they
said I can run it up to 15K! - Mobil saves themselves a lawsuit and says
"See? we said "blah blah blah" so we're not liable".
Idiots...
