WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, GoldenWest Lubricants, Inc. agrees, at its option and expense, to repair or replace, at Reasonable Cost, any of the following part(s) or component(s) that experiences a Breakdown as a direct primary result of a lubrication-related failure while the Product is properly installed: piston and piston rings, crankshaft and main bearings, rocker arm and pivots, rod and rod bearings, distributor drive gear, timing gears or sprockets, valve heads and valve springs, valve lifters, stems and guides, wrist pins and bushings, cylinder linings and bores, oil pump, oil pan, push rods, keepers and retainers, camshaft and bearings, cam follower and balancer, all internal lubricated parts of the block and head, and seals and gaskets if required to be replaced during repairs of covered parts.

“Breakdown” occurs when a covered part/component is damaged and can no longer perform the function for which it was designed. The “Reasonable Cost” of repair or replacement will include the cost of labor as determined by the lesser of the national average cost for similar repairs or the cost for labor as published in national flat rate manual(s) in effect as of the date the labor is performed. Parts/components that have experienced a Breakdown may be replaced, at GoldenWest Lubricants, Inc.’s sole option, with used, rebuilt, remanufactured or new parts/components. When the cost of repairing a part/component, including labor, exceeds the cost of replacing the part/component, GoldenWest Lubricants, Inc. reserves the right to pay or reimburse Consumer for replacement based on the cost for used, rebuilt, or remanufactured parts/components not to exceed the liability limits of this Warranty .
