CapriRacer,
Your statement for the basis for warranty denial, “…loss of oil due to negligence.”, would apply if ALL of the engine oil were lost. In the present case, there is reported that the engine did have (some) oil. Was it enough oil? Aha, THAT is the question!
Caddyman,
It’s time to buy a Honda. Honda Accord 4 cylinders went to timing CHAIN in 2003. Which color do you like?
