You always want to document oil changes and everything over little thing, especially when you have a warranty. If you needed to you could get your oil analyzed, and that might clarify if the oil caused the engine failure.

K i found my reciept where i bought the oil! I am waiting on there reply to see if they approve the 16K. Warranty is through great lakes warranty up north. It says they cover camshaft, so i dont see a reason why they wouldn't cover it...

Blue2000s, I was just pulling out of the golf course normally and heard a loud ticking but no engine light, then shortly after before i could pull over car just chut off I never thought this would happen to me..

I will keep you guys updated on everything..

oh boy sorry to hear that.

I advise you to read the fine print on your warranty agreement. It usually demmands that the oil changes occur at a certified shop within the recommended interval. Some even demmand that it be done at a dealer. The lawyers for these warranty companies make sure to to make it real easy for them to get out of catastrophic engine failure claims.
When i was shopping my Warranty Direct extended plan I did the math for the price of all the dealer maitnenace (ALL OF IT) and I woul have ended up spending like...I don't remember but a lot on top of the $3K for 4 years of coverage. Decided to skip it.
