I went in to my local Subaru dealer for an oil change and asked them to install the Fumoto F108N valve I brought with me. They told me their technician advised against it because the aluminum oil pan and Fumoto brass valve may create warranty issues. I asked them to go ahead with the install. I haven't read anywhere in this forum of any outright warranty issues using a Fumoto valve on a Subaru.
So, I was creating a spreadsheet with my maintenance records, and was going through the invoice for when I had the Fumoto valve installed and noticed in the labor notes, it states "Installed new valve as per customer request. No applied warranty for failure of parts or oil pan." So if there is failure in the oil pan for any reason Subaru can attribute it to the installation of the Fumoto valve?
