product exclusive law

In a past issue of the TDR was an article mentioning that manufactures had to provide the product free of charge that they would require a consumer to use exclusively. If they said you had to use only their oil for your engine and no substitutes they were required to provide it free of charge.

Is this correct? If so what is the law for this? The Clayton Act? Or the Sherman Act? Or???

Let me know as my brother ws told by the dealer that he had to buy $11 a quart oil from them only for warranty coverage.
