Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 50 MPH DOWN A RURAL ROAD WHEN A MESSAGE SUDDENLY APPEARED SAYING NO OIL PRESSURE, STOP ENGINE. I CONTINUED ABOUT A HALF MILE TO STOP SIGN AND ENGINE QUIT AS I WAS BRAKING. WOULD NOT RE-START. I WAS STRANDED ON THE ROADSIDE. UPON CHECKING REASON FOR NO OIL PRESSURE I DETERMINED THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE, NO VISIBLE LEAKS OR DRIPS ON UNDERCARRIAGE OF VEHICLE. ENGINE APPARENTLY HAD CEASED UP. OIL CHANGE INDICATOR WAS AT 44%, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OIL. THERE WERE NO OIL SPOTS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. NO LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH PANEL PRIOR TO THE STOP ENGINE WARNING. THERE WAS NO KNOCKING OR LIFTER TICKING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE ENGINE PRIOR TO INDICATE THERE WAS A LOW OIL ISSUE. 3.0 L V6. *TR
