I checked fuses and the oil and anything to make sure it wasn't engine failure but I'm positive it is.
Anyways I used either Eneos sustina or motul 300 0w20 most it's life and just this last oil change I decided to try out amsoil 0w30. I changed the oil before due intervals, about every 4 months or 5k miles. The last oil change was maybe a couple weeks before the car died. Now I'm paranoid that the dealer might use the 0w30 oil against me to screw me from covering the engine which I'm fairly positive isn't my fault or the oils fault as many others use different weight oil. The car has 49k miles and I have all the receipts that are dated from the oil and oil filter I have purchased since buying the car. Also the car has no mods that could have caused it either.
I usually use it to drive from work and back, I did participate in a drift even last year and have fun with the car here and there, but nothing like what other members do with their cars every other weekend or so. Sorry for the long paragraph but If you have any input I would appreciate it, thanks.

They won't really tell the difference between 0w20 and 0w30, but to be safe you need to put the car back to stock and put the stock tune (if you're running any sort of tune) back on to even have a snowballs chance in hell of getting a warranty repair. Assume the dealer will do everything they can to prevent you from getting a warranty repair.
