As for the extended warranty, that just sounds like all of the other extended warranties out there which bassically aren't worth the paper they are written on. However that doesn't excuse the dealer trying to BS you.

Oil dilution is also a bit of a problem on the DISI (direct injected spark ignition) turbo 2.3L petrol engines as well (CX7, MPS3 and MPS6 uses these engines).
When i had my MPS3 i had a oil test done by castrol after the turbo seal/bearing shat itself and it was found that oil dilution with petrol was abnormally high (apprently it is a issue with some direct injected petrol engines), the the oil had only been in the engine for 1200kms and was the recommended Castrol Sport edge for the car.
I guess the car running
AFR's of high 9's when on boost from factory didnt help with the above.
