How is an engine part not covered by warranty?So rod bearing on cylinder #6 is spun, alot of metal in block. needs a new long block. Not covered by warranty....
This is my thought as well. If the OP put the right oil in, in the right amount, and without busting the oil cooler housing, there's no way a warranty claim against the engine should be denied.How is an engine part not covered by warranty?
Any thoughts on contacting Pennzoil about the situation.Because it was not oil that was put in is why it was denied. I have not heard from dealer what it was that was in that jug of "motor oil"
I will wait and see how insurance pans out, then will contact a lawyer to go after walmart, and maybe PennzoilAny thoughts on contacting Pennzoil about the situation.
You may have to go after Pennzoil or the store where purchased. It will be interesting to see what the testing shows. The exact composition of the oil will not be revealed by a UOA, but will give some clues about what it is.Because it was not oil that was put in is why it was denied.

That's pretty crazy. I'm real curious to hear what they say came out of that jug, and if it makes sense or not. Sucks to have to be dealing with that.Because it was not oil that was put in is why it was denied. I have not heard from dealer what it was that was in that jug of "motor oil"
I believe he said he did track down the receipt for it atleast.Damn.
Certainly pursue all the avenues available.
Insurance claim seems like your best shot at this point.
A lawyer and a claim against the retailer or Penzoil without a receipt and recent purchase, well, that's pretty long odds:
"4th and long, 6 seconds on the clock"
or
"0 and 2 count, 2 outs, nobody on, bottom of the 9th"
Realistically, I think your most likely bet to get your jeep up and running again is gonna be one of those Rubtrux long blocks, installed by a 3rd party mechanic.
Disagree. I thought he had the receipt? If not, if he used a credit card there's the statement, plus most retailers transmit detailed data now to the card companies on what items were purchased, which he could possibly subpoena in advance of a claim to obtain proof of exactly what was purchased.Damn.
