Ouch, that's bad, feel bad for you dude. Well, if it doesn't work out then I'll go the Amsoil route and hopefully that will help the situation. Ugh, i can't believe that the manufacture didn't spot this problem when building the car.... =(

But the thing is I can't believe that they actually agreed to replace these parts... even if it doesn't fix the issue, I'm getting new parts which can't be bad... Plus, this job will cost AT LEAST $1000+ (labour 8hrs x $80-100/hr = 640-800ish! + parts) Yikes eh? Imagine shelling out that much money yourself, that would royally suck.
