Mybest dealer story is the guy who brought in a 1 year old vehicle with 38,000 miles on the original oil and filter. After it tossed a few internal parts due to the lack of oil, he dropped it off by a roll back tow and demanded that this was normal usage and should be covered under warranty. After all, 5 people in his office had skipped a few oil changes and nothing happened. It is only bad build quality from the manufacturer that caused it.
The factory rep came by, laughed at the oil pan contents, and then yellow high lighted the owners manual for the owner. It was not pretty.
The oil was 80% grit and the filter had stopped working and had gone to "bypass mode" somewhere along the way. The interior looked like a homeless person was living in it. It was left on the lower lot until it was sold off as a junker one year later.
Oh, did I mention that the last time it was washed was by the new car prep dept?
