The Moss-Magnuson act was implemented to -keep tha manufacturers from requiring that the -customer use their brand of filters etc. It also -required that if the warranty was dependent on -using only specific brands, the Company is required -to supply them at no cost. Don't think for one -minute that Ford or any other manufacturer is going -to roll over because of what an after-market parts -manufaturer says. I am anxious to see the warranty. -They usually read something like" warranty will not -be voided soley by the use of xxxx products.
