Of course if they find nothing then there would be no case but if they do it may be the proof that would sway a warranty claim. Overall expect a fight though.

This has been almost a 2 month battle. The dealer offered to tear down the engine to "find a reason to cover it under warranty" but said it would cost $2400. Knowing that the oil levels were fine and that I wasnt driving the car like a maniac I knew it wasn't anything I had done to the car so I told them to go ahead, since I really had no other option. That's when they hit me a second time with the whole "oil starvation"/"metal in the oil" thing.
