Lifetime Powertrain warranty... Is it really good for life?

I recently contacted the dealer to schedule an appointment for a leaking valve cover gasket. I asked to confirm this was covered under the lifetime powertrain warranty which they said it was but the warranty was not a lifetime warranty and expired in 2011, which was only 3 years after I purchased the car brand new. They then informed me that because I failed to take the car in after 5 years for the powertrain inspection that the warranty was voided however I was never notified by paper or verbally that this had to be done The warranty is confusing, what do you guys think?

Yes that is what they told me but like I said I have nothing in writing stating I needed the powertrain inspected every 5 years so I guess I'm stuck paying for this repair out of pocket
Like I said I don't recall seeing anything about a 5-year powertrain I don't recall seeing anything about a 5-year powertrain inspection. I've also taken the car in for oil changes every few months and had recalls done and was never and was never informed of a needed powertrain inspection then either so I guess I'm stuck paying for this repair.
I ended up going through the 50 pg warranty booklet and it does state the car needs an inspection on the powertrain every 5 years to keep the powertrain warranty active. Oh well.
