Limited Warranty

Terms & Conditions:

Subject to the exclusions, limitations, terms, conditions, and eligibility requirements set forth in this limited warranty, RelaDyne, LLC, a Delaware corporation, will reimburse you at reasonable cost for the repair or replacement of the engine parts listed below that fail as a direct primary result of lubrication related failure while the Drydene engine oil is properly installed. This limited warranty is available to the vehicle owner or lessee of an Eligible Vehicle who changes their own oil or has their oil changed by an automotive center, commercial oil change facility, or auto dealer who uses Drydene engine oil.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE SAME DURATION AS THIS WARRANTY. RELADYNE, INC. SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OR FAILURE OF DRYDENE ENGINE OIL, HOWEVER CAUSED. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:

This limited warranty is only available to legal residents of the United States who own or lease an "Eligible Vehicle" and whose name appears on the Statement of Warranty after completion of the registration process. An "Eligible Vehicle" is a privately owned or leased (if you are primarily obligated for repairs and maintenance) vehicle that meets one of the following:

• Class 2 – Class 6 with a heavy duty diesel engine used in on-road applications with a gross vehicular weight of 26,000 lbs. or less and the odometer has fewer 75,000 miles (1,500 hours) at the time of the initial use of Drydene engine oil and whose manufactured date is within the last 60 months of your initial use of Drydene engine oil.
• Class 7 – Class 8 with a heavy duty diesel engine used in on-road applications with a gross vehicular weight of 80,000 lbs. or less and the odometer has fewer 300,000 miles (6,000 hours) at the time of the initial use of Drydene engine oil and whose manufactured date is within the last 30 months of your initial use of Drydene engine oil.

Vehicles used, registered, modified, or leased for off-road, agricultural or competition purposes do not qualify for this limited warranty. This limited warranty does not cover vehicles subject to abnormal driving conditions or vehicles used in any manner not recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

This limited warranty is transferrable. You can transfer this warranty before your vehicle has 100,000 miles/2,000 hours (for Class 2 – Class 6) or 500,000 miles/10,000 hours (Class 7 – Class 8), but only if the person you transfer it to has copies of your receipts or can prove your compliance with the terms of this limited warranty.

WHAT YOU MUST DO FOR THIS LIMITED WARRANTY TO APPLY:

You must complete the vehicle enrollment process; except in states where registration is not required. Click here to go to our Heavy-Duty Engine Warranty Enrollment page to complete the application. Upon completion of the enrollment process a Statement of Warranty will be issued. You must record the Eligible Vehicle's mileage or hours to complete the registration process. YOU MUST CHANGE THE ELIGIBLE VEHICLE'S OIL EXCLUSIVELY AND CONTINUOUSLY WITH THE APPROPRIATE CATEGORY OF DRYDENE ENGINE OIL, AND THE DRYDENE OIL MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED.

You must change the Eligible Vehicle's engine oil as often as recommended by the Eligible Vehicle’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM) (based on whether the Eligible Vehicle is subject to normal or severe conditions as classified by the vehicle manufacturer) using Drydene engine oil to qualify for this limited warranty.

You must service the Eligible Vehicle's engine in the service classification and viscosity grade as recommended by the manufacturer; change the Eligible Vehicle's oil and oil filter at least as often and as recommended by the manufacturer; maintain the Eligible Vehicle's emission control system in compliance with the manufacturer's recommendation; replace the Eligible Vehicle's air filter and air cleaner elements at least as often recommended by the manufacturer; follow all scheduled engine maintenance as recommended by the manufacturer. You must keep all receipts and maintenance records as proof of eligibility under this limited warranty.

If you have your oil professionally changed and/or your vehicle's engine and emission control system professionally serviced by a heavy duty installer, truck dealer, truck stop, automotive center, commercial fast oil change facility, gasoline service station, or auto dealer, you must keep all receipts and service records.

If you change your own oil, you must keep all receipts and service records showing your required Drydene oil and filter purchases, as well as your receipts for having your engine and emission control system serviced.

If you have a claim, you must be able to show RelaDyne that you used Drydene engine oil, and satisfy all other requirements, before you will be eligible for reimbursement under this Drydene Heavy-Duty Warranty.

DURATION OF LIMITED WARRANTY:

This limited warranty takes effect 90 days after your first eligible purchase of Drydene engine oil or 10,000 miles/200 hours (for Class 2 – Class 6) or 25,000 miles/500 hours (for Class 7 – Class 8) after your initial Drydene engine oil installation, whichever occurs last. As long as you comply with the terms and conditions stated herein, this limited warranty covers the engine parts listed below that fail as a direct primary result of lubrication related failure from the time you were eligible for this limited warranty up to 10 years or 400,000 miles/8,000 hours for exclusive use of Drydene Heavy Duty engine oils, or up to 10 years, 600,000 miles/12,000 hours for exclusive use of Drydene Full Synthetic Heavy Duty engine oils, whichever occurs first.

Please note the following:

If the Eligible Vehicle’s manufacturer recommends either a heavy duty or full synthetic engine oil, you may use either, but, upon using Drydene engine oil that is not a full synthetic (even one time), this limited warranty only covers the engine parts listed below that fail as a direct primary result of lubrication related failure from the time you were eligible for up to 10 years or 400,000 miles/8,000 hours, whichever occurs first. In addition, to maintain coverage under this limited warranty, the Eligible Vehicle must have fewer than 100,000 miles or 2,000 hours and be less than 36 months old at the time you first use an Drydene engine oil that is not a full synthetic.

COVERAGE:

Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations contained herein, RelaDyne, LLC agrees to reimburse you at reasonable cost for the repair or replacement of the following internally lubricated parts of the Eligible Vehicle's original factory installed engine that fail as a direct primary result of lubrication related failure while the Drydene engine oil is properly installed:

Cylinder lining or bore; pistons and piston rings; engine connecting rods and rod bearings; cam shaft and bearings; crankshaft and bearings; rocker arms and pivots; lube pump assembly; gear train gears; wrist pins and bushings; valve lifter

The time to make the repairs or to replace the covered parts shall be no more than the time allocated by Chilton's Flat Rate Guide or other industry accepted standard.

THE AGGREGATE LIMIT OF LIABILITY FOR A CLAIM OR CLAIMS RELATED TO AN ELIGIBLE VEHICLE IS

• $6,000 for Class 2 – Class 6 Eligible Vehicles
• $10,000 for Class 7 – Class 8 Eligible Vehicles

In no event shall the payment of any claim exceed the fair market value of the Eligible Vehicle at the time of the claim as set forth by Kelley Blue Book or some other similar listing of vehicle values.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER CLAIMS ALSO COVERED BY THE ELIGIBLE VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURER WARRANTY OR ANY EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT OR WARRANTY. This limited warranty does not extend the Eligible Vehicle's manufacturer's warranty.

If RelaDyne, LLC pays anything under this limited warranty, and you have a right to recover from another party, your rights will become RelaDyne LLC's rights, up to the amount RelaDyne LLC has paid.
