The '22's ECM indeed monitors it…the ’22 owner I’m aware of with an engine failure got a CEL and relayed it to Starlink as a Low Oil Pressure CEL…Starlink even contacted the owner asking if he needed assistance when it was triggered.

How effective it is as a warning to the driver may be debatable but it is certainly there…

Picture below from the '22 BRZ Owners Manual



This isn’t how the warranty works….replacing things that may have an issue makes no financial sense. The warranty is designed and budgeted to replace things that have had an issue as a result of defective materials or workmanship.

I'm aware how a warranty works. They're going to end up replacing engines eventually anyway since damage is likely to already be done...

It won't be during my ownership though. I'm not going to have that risk of being 1000 miles from home and the engine blowing up.






and the low oil pressure light triggers at super low oil pressure, it's a "your engine is fucked mate" light
