My BRZ is grinding into 4th gear at high rpms and I'm thinking of taking it into the Subaru dealer to have them take a look at it. Its quite weird because I had my mechanic put in royal purple fluid, and he drained the fluid two times, and never found any metal in the fluid. I've no idea why its grinding, but I just want to know if Subaru will deny warranty claim on the basis of aftermarket fluid? Would it be a good idea to put in the OEM then take it?
