It's literally in the first line of the text you quoted. The onus is legally on the manufacturer which they will almost always try to get out of. The problem is most people aren't willing to lawyer up, understandably so.

In the context of the discussion here and specific to the aftermarket baffle plate that I was speaking to the dealership would be well within the wording of the warranty terms and give them an out in the event of oil starvation.
I was not making broad and reaching statements about warranties in general.
I do not see where the first line I quoted says anything about them having to prove the association.
"This warranty
does not cover damage or failures resulting directly or indirectly from any of the following"
Oh and did you miss or ignore the last line of what you linked?
"This does not preclude a warrantor from expressly
excluding liability for defects or damage caused by
“unauthorized” articles or service; nor does it preclude the warrantor
from denying liability where the warrantor can demonstrate that the defect or damage was so caused."
Their wording is well within the law. Cat manufacturers have good lawyer and they know what they are doing.
