A.) THIS WARRANTY IS SUBJECT TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS:

  1. It covers only new passenger cars, vans and pick-up trucks with GVWR of 8,500 pounds or less which are privately owned by an individual. It also covers such vehicles when leased by an individual, both during the term of the lease, if the lessee is primarily obligated for repairs, and after purchase by the lessee. It does not cover vehicles used for commercial, agricultural or farming purposes or registered to any owner other than a natural person.
    (Modified Warranty is available for vehicles in "commercial" service and for low mileage "New" vehicles)

 

"Used" for the purpose of this limited Warranty means only those vehicles manufactured within sixty (60) months prior to the date of receipt by SynLube Incorporated of the Warranty Application.

 

  1. It does not cover any vehicle that has been modified for or used in any competitive events.
  2. It does not cover claims which are the result of collision, neglect or intentional abuse, improper service or maintenance, defect in manufacture, improper installation of any part, or the failure to keep the motor oil, gear oil, ATF and/or engine coolant at the levels* prescribed by the original vehicle manufacturer. (*Above minimum and below maximum).

 

SynLube Incorporated will not refuse payment for such claims which otherwise comply with the terms of this Warranty, unless it demonstrates, in good faith, that one or more of these causes resulted in the damage claimed.

 

  1. It does not cover claims also covered by the vehicle manufacturer's basic coverage warranty, extra powertrain warranty or any extended service contract. However, if you have otherwise complied with the terms of the Warranty, SynLube Incorporated will pay the deductible amount, if any, which is to be paid by you under any extended service contract purchased by you and which covers such a claim.
  2. Payment of claims under this Limited Warranty is limited to the labor time to make the necessary repairs or to replace any irreparably damaged engine part listed above as allocated by Chilton's Flat Rate Guide or other industry accepted flat rate guide, times the commercial repair shop's posted hourly labor rate, plus the reasonable cost of a replaced engine part of like kind and quality.
  3. This Warranty is void if at the time you applied for this Warranty, your vehicle had in excess of 7,500 miles on its odometer or the vehicle had been in use longer than six (6) months, or if any information provided in the Warranty application was untrue.

    However, all vehicles that comply with all other requirements of this Warranty except for the date of manufacture (less than 12 months), the time in use (less than 6 months) or miles in use (less than 7,500 miles), can qualify for our alternative warranty coverage the:

2.b.) The gear oil or ATF in the vehicle's transmission must be drained as much as possible and replaced with appropriate SynLube Transmission Lubricant within thirty (30) months after the Date of Manufacture of the vehicle, or 25,000 miles of original use.

NOTE: SynLube Incorporated maintains and updates computer record of all registered SynLube™ users. If we fail to receive warranty validation cards that indicate the proper maintenance, checking of oil level and replacement of lubricant(s) or oil filters when required we will notify you, and instruct you to perform the proper maintenance. If we do not receive confirmation that the required action was timely and properly performed, this warranty may be subject to cancellation.

IMPORTANT: You must retain copies of all service receipts and repair orders to make a proper claim under this Warranty, and these must satisfactorily show that SynLube Lubricants were used, the mileage and date each time the lubricant and/or oil filter was changed in the vehicle, the identity of the vehicle to which the service was performed, and when the other services required in this section B were performed.

ATF Information: In most Automatic Transmission designs it is not possible to fully drain and therefore to completely replace all the ATF that is in the system. This is because Torque Converters, ATF Cooler and Cooler Connecting Hoses can not be conveniently drained.

If this is the case with your vehicle, than only the fluid that is lost when replacing the Automatic Transmission Filter should be replaced with SynLube™ ATF each time that the Filter is being replaced. This service should be performed every 30,000 miles or every 3 years.
