In the US we have the Magnuson-Moss Act which requires O.E.M.'s to hold valid warranty claims although service work had not been completed at the O.E.M.'s dealer network. As long as said work was done correctly and with correct parts etc.

The UK has a similar law, the European Block Exemption law.

In today's market place, it would very hard to believe that an O.E.M. could void a car's warranty because on non dealership service work.

In the old day here if you modified vehicle with non original parts, say customer exhaust, the O.E.M. would claim that if your alternator took a crap, that because you had modified your vehicle, your warranty was no longer valid. The Magnuson-Moss Act covers this sort of thing too.

I would do some research and not let the O.E.M. bully you into having all work done by the dealer. Just make sure that you keep records of the work. I service my own new Harley and as long as I use the approved grade/class of oil and a Harley filter, I'm good to go.

This is incredibly helpful and certainly more thorough than what is in the handbook.

Does anyone know if it is part of a full set for at least several future services?

Thanks!

Yes if more of those forms exist id love to see them.

It's the same in the UK, provided the work is carried out by a V.A.T. registered garage and genuine manufacturers parts are used, the warranty is valid, legislation regarding this was introduced some 10-15 years ago.

In america i can do the work myself as long as i keep reciepts for materials.

seriously does anyone do their own engine oil and bevel box oil changes? I'm seriously considering doing it myself.

Me!
Really easy, particularly with the right toys to suck the old oil out of the tank, undo the filter and inject new oil into the bevel box.

Part of me just wants controlnand participation in tne whole process.

I do mine, no more than a couple of hours work to change engine oil, filter and bevel box oil.

I'm going to look online to see who has the best prices for the materials
