sadly, i may be testing this topic soon.
engine essentially blew up, i guess, with oil spilled all along my street. i was lucky it happened close enough to home that i could coast and park it. only thing it has is an unleashed tune, nothing overly aggressive. i haven't even been running it alot lately, mostly been stock. I did get the oil changed a few days ago, i have my receipts, and i'm thinking that shop may have done something wrong. i've used them before and they've been good, but when i checked my oil a couple of days ago it was very low, especially considering it had just been changed. i called the owner/manager and asked them if they put the entire 6 quarts i brought into the car. he talked to his tech and the guy said yes. so i added another quart and check the level and it was good. then last night the whole blow up thing happens!?! I spoke to him today to let him know the situation. he seems pretty confident that they are not at fault. i told him i will have it towed to the dealer and see what their diagnostic says. He's a cool guy and has given me good advice, he even loaded my tune to the car. But techs make mistakes sometimes.
the car was very recently at the dealership for servicing, actually its been at the dealer alot lately which has me a little frustrated, and i have all the records. I've been trying to get all problems solved before the warranty ended. this particular dealership was really good in the past, but their service dept has fallen off in the last year and their are different people working there than before.
we'll see what happens. if any of you have any advice, please let me know.
i did return the car to stock, as all the electronics are still working so i was able to load it...
