Ford is going to replace the engine. Think they said a bearing failed.

doing your own oil changes does not automatically void a warranty claim, per the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (here I'm assuming you're in the United States.)

That's great. Make sure you give them kudos if they take care of you properly.
