Consumer Description

DUE TO IT HAPPENING TO ME AND FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN RESEARCHING NOW MY CARS ENGINE WAS BLOWN DUE TO THE LACK OF OIL AND THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE IS PRONE TO HAVE AN EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF OIL. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING SOUND I PARKED THE CAR. TOOK THE PLASTIC STUFF OFF THE TOP AND FOUND NO OIL IN MY ENGINE AFTER HAVING A OIL CHANGE NOT TO LONG AGO. SO I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED AND I STILL OWE ON THE CAR
