Consumer Description

ENGINE BROKE A ROD BECAUSE SLUG DROPPED FROM TOP OF ENGINE IMMEDIATELY AFTER OIL CHANGE. THIS KEPT OIL FROM CIRCULATING TO THE TOP PART OF THE ENGINE. MECHANIC SAID THIS IS BECOMING COMMON WITH TOYOTAS AND FORDS AFTER OIL CHANGES FROM JIFFY LUBES AND OTHER FRANCHISES BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY SHOT OIL IN THE ENGINES DURING OIL CHANGES. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY PREVENTATIVE SOLUTIONS OR ANY RECOURSES FOR COMPENSATION. HENRY LARRYMORE
