    Ask him if he has actually ever read the Magnusson-Moss Consumer Product 
Warranty Act. In one decision, the FTC held:

 "The Federal Trade Commissionbs Magnusson-Moss Consumer Product Warranty Act 
of 1992 prohibits compressor manufacturers from voiding their warranties 
because of the addition of third party oil additives in consumer applications, 
unless that equipment manufacturer proves that the lubricant harmed the 
equipment. "

    The same concept applies to any and all aftermarket accessories installed 
on a motor vehicle. The burden of proof is upon the manufacturer. They may 
not unreasonably withold coverage absent that proof.

 Something to have in your head the next time the dealer acts like an A-hole.
