Quick question, is there any fine print to this?
Most "lifetime" warranty that they offer here in ohio are usually have a ton of fine prints, such as getting regular maintenance done at that certain dealership (oil change, tire change, etc) plus any repairs that needed to be done. This is why I usually ignore these lifetime Powertrain since they have so many catches. Missed one $100 oil change then you'll lose your "lifetime" warranty.
To sum it up, it really depends on if you are going to get all your car maintenance done with your dealer or by yourself. If you're a car geek, and usually do your own oil change etc, then I would suggest to ignore these warranty.
My old frs had one of these lifetime warranty and I ran off when they said they wanted almost $800 for the 30k mile service. It only costed me 200 total, with better aftermarket filters. I believe toyota only wanted $500 for their 30k service. In the end, they voided my warranty.
