Though what you say makes perfect sense to do, I don't know that it should exceed the limits of your warranty. The fact that there IS a problem that then MAY or MAY NOT lead to your dead engine shortly after, is where the warranty should have no such limit.
Here's what you're saying in a different example: My radio is having an issue, so it should be covered under warranty. I kept using it anyway, regardless of the issue, and it completely stopped working now, so it therefore exceeded the limits of the warranty.
Doesn't make sense. Sure, I agree 100% that he may have saved his engine by shutting off the vehicle ASAP. But warranty wise, whatever the problem was, it existed regardless.
