Too many exclusions in my opinion. The engine parts that are covered are "lubricated internal engine parts". That is why they have the ridiculous oil change requirement. The trouble is, pistons, rings and crankshafts are very uncommon failures. They don't cover any of your fuel system, ignition system, engine or vehicle electronics, suspension system, or steering system. They do cover transmission electronics, but that is a lot of coin for just that coverage.
How about Warranty Direct, do they offer something with fewer exclusions? Also, I wouldn't go for a zero deductible, a reasonable deductible is fine, and you are paying a hefty premium most of the time because they know they are going to get nuisance claims with no deductible.

Hi JCL,
Well I was redirected from Warranty Direct due my X's age
anything older than 2002 goes to this Shield option.Mine's got 21x.xxx kms
Here's the the quote :
5 Years / 160,000 Kilometres $ 2,184 ( $0 ded.) $ 1,976( $100 ded.)
Engine was swapped with the fresher, tranny already rebuilt and I am planning to keep it longer,so I am a bit concerned and wouldn't like to pay for engine or tranny related stuff out of my pocket(already did,didn't like it)
Yes,it doesn't cover that much.
Oil changes alone would cost $ 360/year if done by the dealer.
But they state in the contract that I have to follow manufacturers requirements for the maintenance.
Also,the timing belt I guess isn't the timing chain
So I would need to give them a call to get some more info.
