370 overheated/no oil

You might just want to claim this under your insurance policy while you sort out the Nissan lawsuit.

I'm surprised you can afford a 40,000 dollar car with your god awful spelling. May I ask who has ever payed you 40k, when you spell every word in a sentence wrong?

Maybe where ever you got the oil done forgot to put the new oil in. Drained it and then let you drive off. Improbable but possible.

What a ****! C'mon the dude is freaking out and yet you think it's a good time to belittle him....seriously.

I'm going to have to say that if you changed your own oil, you really don't have much of a leg to stand on honestly. Relying on the oil light to tell you that your oil is low is like playing Russian Roulette with 5 bullets. That's what they make a dipstick for.
Do you change the crush washer when you change your oil? That's the first thought that came to my mind was that all of the oil leaked around the filter. Just a WAG, but something to ponder. I would sure do my best before they try to clean of any part of the engine to figure out where the oil came out. If you had actually burned that much oil, you would have noticed it, so I think leaking is your only option.

Gotcha.
Well. I hope it all works out OK. My brother had this issue with a Saturn that he used to own. He had the oil changed at the dealer and the seal on the oil filter blew out and dumped the entire load of oil.

I never once said I had the best spelling in the world. The poster had such bad spelling it was hard to understand what he was saying, and it sounded like he was fourteen.

I really feel for you with this oil problem. My bet is that when you, or someone else changed the oil they forget to put the new oil in.

There is no way that you could leak 5 qt of oil and not know it. Someone would see it and at least let you know.

hah, that's good. I was talking about spelling and you caught me using a wrong word. paid and payed are different words, not a spelling error. You got me on wherever though (: good catch.
