Does use of XTENDER affect manufacturers' warrantees on engines?
It never has.
XTENDER has been used in everything from the smallest diesel generator to the largest power thermo-generators with no ill effects, but in fact in some cases has improved engine performance beyond manufacturers specifications.
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects consumers against frivolous denial of engine warrantee claims by manufacturers. Under the act, the manufacturers have to provide validated proof that any reason they may use to deny is valid. The act protects consumers (private owners of cars, motor homes, scooters, etc.) from "frivolous" denial of engine warrantee claims. The act does not apply to commercial vehicles/engines. In that case, the commercial entity has the clout of multiple vehicle or equipment purchases and the clout of bad PR for the manufacturer if claims are denied based on "excuses."
For their own reasons, manufacturers have avoided endorsing additives, in part, no doubt, because of the number of products out there that are in fact "scams" - that don't do what they claim to do. On the other hand, highly regarded manufacturers such as John Deere (agricultural equipment) have advocated fuel conditioners and even market an OEM line of their own.
XTENDER products are essentially super lubricants. If they did nothing else they would super lubricate the engine and extend engine performance and engine life. In fact they do more than lubricate - they enhances the fuel burn, reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency ranging from modest to outstanding - but the performance and engine life benefits are constants. |
