I just got an email from the dealership where my truck was serviced (I purchased a prepaid service plan that was too good of a deal to pass up). The email said I have "Drive-Sure Benefits" provided by my dealership that includes:
The dealership added this Krex stuff (without my consent) so they can offer this free service. https://drivesure.com/vehicle-owners/ In reading the small print, "For a period of 10 years or until 200,000 miles are registered on the odometer of your new vehicle, whichever occurs first, this Warranty will cover the failure or excessive wear of the following engine parts of your new vehicle: Crankshaft and Bearings, Oil Pump, Internal Timing Gears and Chain, Camshaft and Bearings, Valve Lifters, Rocker Arms and Pivots, Push Rods, Valve Guides, Pistons and Rings, Wrist Pins and Bushings, Cylinders, Connecting Rods, Distributor Drive Gear, Turbo Bearings, Cylinder Lining and Bore, Balance Shafts, and Valve Stems" - It will cover $5000 to replace
The catch is the truck needs to have oil changes every 5,000 miles and more of this Krex stuff dumped into the crank case. This must be how / why the dealership offers this.
I know our ecodeisels are SUPER SENSITVE to the type of oil used; so much so FCA recommends a specific brand of oil. What happens when this stuff is dumped in??? What say @RamCares? I was not notified that this product was going to be added and did not agree to having this stuff added. I can see how the road hazard service and engine warranty may benefit some, but I already have that covered with max care.
Thoughts?
- Emergency roadside assistance
