Yeah, but virtually all of the manufacturers have this policy, simply because they have no idea what type of additive you might put into it. So it's either a policy of "no additives," or having to test and qualify particular additives for approval, or be willing to pay a warranty bill no matter what anyone tosses into the fuel.
It's interesting to note that BMW has a "no additives" policy for their gasoline engines, yet they sell their own gasoline additive (which looks and smells suspiciously like Chevron Techron).
