I would do another oil change immediately, and have the old oil inspected or better yet tested, that may give you an indication of how much damage was done.
Most certainly it sustained damage.
don’t bother having it tested. It’s pointless and will just show new oil. I see this all the time in the business. Used oil analysis can only tell so much and are meant to be used long term to monitoring oil and engine condition for future maintenance.
in all honesty there’s no way to know what happened and how long it will last. But that was true before this. Most modern oils have enough libricity and “stick” to coat and protect an engine for several minutes without any other oil.
Long story short, them bastages forgot to add oil.
That is an excellent suggestion. I would insist on a reputable warranty company and to ensure the warranty includes lubricated parts (believe it of not, many specifically exclude them).Ask them for an extended warranty to cover any engine repairs that may be required later, at least until 120,000 miles or 5 years if you can get it. I knew of a similar situation at a Walmart store, and they provided an extended warranty to the customer.
Slick 50 or Prolong.Wasn't there a commercial where they Drained the Oil ... then drove it around a Race Track to prove how much "better" Synthetic Oil was ??
I used Blackstone, wife worked just a few blocks away so convenience. Did my Challenger after I got it to check, pretty impressed with all the details and data. Where are you located at?And if someone wants to test their oil, please do not waste your money with Blackstone. We have someone right here on the board with the ability, training and certs to do it for you.
<--------- that guy.
I contacted the owner....he reviewed video and seen his people messed up. He offered to pay me whatever I thought was fair. KIA wanted like $600 just to inspect engine. I am not the type to just take advantage of people.......and the car still was running fine, so we traded it in on a new one and I got nothing from the oil change place.Just to revive an old thread: What finally happened? Did the repair shop find evidence of damage? Did the oil change place end up buying the car at book value?
Used both in the past.Slick 50 or Prolong.
This. I would record doing or even have a dealership do it to document. Label and store the oil as well(dealer may offer to help with this). Send it to a lab to be tested. Did she pay with a card? If so get that printout,it will likely be days before a refund hits. Document everything you can at this point. Then I would contact a lawyer. Get everything they said to your daughter or you written down as well.I would do another oil change immediately, and have the old oil inspected or better yet tested, that may give you an indication of how much damage was done.

Looks like the thread is 2 years old and he said in post #72 they ended up trading the car.This. I would record doing or even have a dealership do it to document.
