When I was a Ford Service Manager, an F-150 pickup was towed in with the engine seized. We were in Nebraska and the pickup was from South Carolina.
We ran the unit up on a hoist and pulled the drain plug on the oil pan. Nothing came out. We also noted it still had the factory oil filter on it. I asked the fellow who was driving it when was the last time he checked or changed oil. He flippantly replied, "I never bother with stuff like that". His father-in-law in South Carolina owned the pickup, so I called him. He replied, "I own a fleet of Ford pickups and we keep meticulous service records.
At that point, since the pickup was still in warranty, I felt it prudent to run it past the Ford District Manager. Based on the evidence, she voided the warranty.
The fellow with the pickup disappeared and we parked the unit outside waiting further developments. Next day a tow truck from the Ford dealer in the next town over came and picked up the pickup while I was at lunch. I never heard the outcome, but I hope they didn't go ahead and replace the engine, thinking it would be covered by warranty. They could have wound up eating an engine.
