It seems that my used vehicle came with a warranty from Buyer's Choice. As a condition of warranty coverage, I was sent three bottles of fluid that I was instructed to put in the vehicle within seven days. "Trans-Tune" to be added to the transmission, Oil Treatment, and Differential Fluid to be added to axle/transaxle/final drive. Should I have any concerns about adding these fluids? Does anyone know anyhting about his operation?

Thanks...

hey......i didn't get no fluids with my Buyers Choice warranty.
just my personal opinion but i am not a big believer in 'additives'. but if they are requesting you do so i would go along with them. they don't need any other excuses to back out of a warranty issue.

How are they going to verify if you added the fluids or not? Just curious....

Probably a Ph strip dipped into the lube of the failed component. I had some similar fluids with
an extended warranty. It seems all the items that have gone wrong with my RR, Disco were not due to
failed lubrication. Warranty was a waste for me.
I needed a rust and electrical warranty, and gasket replacement. I think I read on the policy if leaks were not fixed at owners expense the warranty will be void. sounds like a catch22 rover style.

>"catch22 rover style"

That's a catchy phrase (please excuse the pun). The additives will most likely preserve the items warrantied by Buyer's Choice and cause non-warrantied items to fail miserably at owner's expense...

heads-up....22 comin your way!
