Not grey at all in my mind. If you remove and reseal the pan and something happens you have altered the factory parts (sealant) and they could use that as an excuse. Doesn't matter if you, I or anybody else on a forum thinks that it is OK to do it gives them an out if they decide they want to play hardball. I would not even trust if a dealer said "sure"!
It sucks but they have a very good legal team that worded the warranty and they know what they can make stick if they want to.
OH and LOL apparently the whole promoting a sports car on a race track then not covering it is not different than promoting the SUVs for off road!
