I did all my oil changes on my Speed 3 myself throughout the warranty period.

I think in order to deny warranty coverage they'd have to prove that the service you did led to whatever failure you had.

In my case, the only issue my car ever had during warranty was the clutch slave cylinder failed. Since that has nothing to do with oil changes I had no issues with getting that replaced under warranty.
