ya the knock came back with a vengeance. I thought I was going to lose her. so I figured lets try changing the oil and sure enough the knock quieted down a ton. Its there a little but still but much much less. So I think I need a little more oil. Lol, but I can't get an accurate reading. Im going to get a new dip from driftmotion but not till next month. Any ideas? |

If it's knocking that bad and you're losing that much oil I'm sorry to say the damage is done my friend.... rebuild time. Before you even bother ordering a new dipstick, drain the oil and measure how much you get back out; It will be very obvious if you're missing more than 1/2qt.

So I get out of the car while i'm stuck in the middle of a huge interection on a HILL! Call AAA, have it towed to the mechanic. He said he would see EXACTLY what happened and get after the jiffy lube. Luckily he knows the owner of the jiffy lube from previous instances of sports car oil changes gone wrong. It was obvious by the smell to me that this had to do with them. Idk what kind of knock I had. It was not that bad. |

That's BS man... unless there was oil pouring down the side of the filter or they flat out forgot to put it on I VERY seriously doubt they did jack wrong (this time anyway).
You already had a knock, just because it disappeared (VERY briefly) before this happened doesn't rule out mechanical failure due to wear or the fact that (as you admit) you were running her WAY low on oil... Suck it up man... it's quite likely you're the one at fault here.

I was prepared to suck it up the moment i got stuck.. Then i smelled the burning "SHITTY" pensoil.. Seen some dripping from the oil filter.. Some was on the flatbed truck too..  I didn't say that before because I wanted to have the tech tell me for sure before I got blasted.. Lol, too late for that.. |
