What's with the red marks on every single bolt on the car?
when i was getting the cars oil changed today i noticed there is a red mark on every single bolt on the car. from the suspension to engine to exhaust system.
is that so the dealer knows the bolt has been tampered with in case of a warranty claim? if so, can a dealer even deny warranty based off that?
just curious..

most of them are torque seals - meaning the bolt has been torqued properly - you may also find loctite, a brand of thread lock, on some low torque items to prevent them from backing out accidentally
