New or used car engine option: Had an oil change done. The next day, engine "seized?" on major highway.
Smoke billowed up sides of car. Got out with child and pet. Reputable mechanic determined that wrong engine oil filter was used causing all the oil to come out. There was no oil in car when arrived in mechanics shop after tow. Est. cost to replace with new engine $5,700; used engine $3,700. Car is 2001 Camry with 73,000 miles. Need advice. How am I made %26quot;whole%26quot;?New or used car engine option: Had an oil change done. The next day, engine %26quot;seized?%26quot; on major highway.I was extremely lucky years ago. Went to national oil-change place, and just before they brought out my car, they discovered they'd put the wrong filter on, so I'd have ended up like you!!
Definitely sue. Try going to %26quot;%26quot;Handel On the Law.com%26quot; (minus any spaces), look up in your area a lawyer who will give a free estimate or appraisal of your case.
But I noticed you didn't say WHO had changed the oil. Obviously, if you did it yourself, you're out of luck. If a business did, then sue them.
But if there's no one to sue, then just get another car. Don't think it's worth the hassle of getting new engine. To me, the car would always be %26quot;tainted%26quot;. I wouldn't have faith in the car anymore.New or used car engine option: Had an oil change done. The next day, engine %26quot;seized?%26quot; on major highway.Sue the shop that changed the oil. Either wrong filter or the old rubber gasket was stuck to the engine %26amp; they didn't remove it before putting on the new filter. Tell them you want a new engine, they will probably settle for used.New or used car engine option: Had an oil change done. The next day, engine %26quot;seized?%26quot; on major highway.Did you get a oil light that came on? That would have been the time to pull over and shut the engine off.
I would contact the people that did the oil change and see what they say. If they don't accomadate you, then it is time to file a complaint with the BBB and then to contact a lawyer. Get a statement from the mechanic that determined that the wrong oil filter was used. You should have a good case. good luck.

An upgrade kit was added to my Triumph, how many miles till I change the oil?
I have a 2003 Triumph Bonneville, it has about 22,000 miles on it but that doesn't matter, I installed a Wiseco upgrade kit in it, 800 to 900 ccs. It has a new piston and a new sleeve in the cylinder. I've run it one or two hundred miles. Okay, this is just my thinking, I thought I'd run it a while, a %26quot;break-in%26quot; period using the oil that was in it and then put in a fresh filter and load of synthetic oil. I don't know if people do this anymore. My thought was the oil would pick up any contaminants or pieces of metal, and then would be flushed out with a new oil change. Considering that I've decided to do this already, how many miles would you run it before the new change, 100, 200, 1000 miles, more? thanksAn upgrade kit was added to my Triumph, how many miles till I change the oil?I'd do 500 making sure I didn't lug the engine at all during break in. I'm just wondering if you are running synthetic now. I've heard tell that synth makes bedding of the new rings a problem. I've also heard that switching from dyno oil, if that's what you are using, to synth can deprive seals of certain swelling agents that may cause them to weep a bit. YMMV! Your plan otherwise seems sound.An upgrade kit was added to my Triumph, how many miles till I change the oil?500 miles or less goodstructuretoptr asp hosting
Please help! I'm starting a little business w/ cars: an at-your-home service oil change, etc? tagline, other?s?
My plan is to offer a service where I will be going to people's homes to change their oil at a discounted price. I will provide the oil and disposal and the whole idea is that it will be convenient for ppl and cheaper! They get to choose the type of oil and oil change they get. I'll also be offering other services such as lubrication, tire gauge check, air, vaccuum, repairs (broken side view mirror, etc) BUT i'll mainly be advertising the oil change.
soo..i have some questions and I would appreciate any help, thank you! These are my questions:
1) What's a good tagline? I'm so bad at this, but I'm thinking %26quot;have your oil changed at the convenience of your own home%26quot;..id like something that's more catchy though
2) how can i establish credibility and trustworthiness? i don't have a certificate, but i've been working with my/family's/friends' cars for years.
3) What title would sound best (most official, most professional)? In other words, what can I call myself? Professional Oil Changer? (I also do other things, so idk about that...) I need a good title, pls help!
4) How much should I charge for my services?
any other advice? thank you so very much!!Please help! I'm starting a little business w/ cars: an at-your-home service oil change, etc? tagline, other?s?First: Research what the professional oil change services charge in your area. Set up your charge to be somewhat less. You can do that because you don't have a heavy overhead in building and rack rental. You probably will have to buy a ramp to drive their car up on to change the oil, cost of containers and cost of oil disposal. Think about the other costs and set your price schedule accordingly.
Secondly: %26quot;tagline%26quot;? I think you mean %26quot;business slogan%26quot; for advertising purposes. First I'd get a business name. %26quot;John's Home Auto Service%26quot;, then figure out the slogan... %26quot;Save Money, Let John Do It%26quot; comes to mind.
Thirdly: Print up some flyers announcing your new service. Stress it's cheaper and more convenient for you to come to them than they to go to the oil change place and include your lowest price (and make sure you indicate that some changes are more expensive... include something like: %26quot;From 99-cents up%26quot; or the Price and the word %26quot;up%26quot; by it. Pass out the flyers everywhere you can, cars in parking lots at Wal-Mart, on outside advertising boards, Craigs List in your local area (that's free)...
There's more work involved than just going out to change someone's oil and charging them for it... it's called %26quot;the wonderful world of being in business for yourself%26quot;.
Good Luck!Please help! I'm starting a little business w/ cars: an at-your-home service oil change, etc? tagline, other?s?The EPA will be watching you like a hawk and you will need a lic to haul the oil.Not easy to get that kind of a license.Good luck

How much can I expect to pay for a fully synthetic oil change on my 2005 F150 in Tennessee?
My dealership in Washington State used to do it for free, now I've moved and I need to budget it inHow much can I expect to pay for a fully synthetic oil change on my 2005 F150 in Tennessee?Not sure which engine you have, but the F150 XT with the 4.6L V8 engine, uses a Fram oil filter (PH3600), which costs $3.97 at Rockauto.com.
Kragen/Schucks/Checker sells Mobil 1 synthetic for $6.50 /qt, or Valvoline synthetic for $5.50 /qt. Your truck probably uses at least 5-1/2 quarts, so figure $33 to $39 for the oil.
A dealer would get a discount on both oil and filter, but add a labor and disposal charge, so you should figure about $50.How much can I expect to pay for a fully synthetic oil change on my 2005 F150 in Tennessee?call Jiffy Lube and ask them?/???? you will get an acurate answer from them.Since it is 2007 and you are moving to a new state it won't be free but Jiffy Lube is not expensive.How much can I expect to pay for a fully synthetic oil change on my 2005 F150 in Tennessee?Synthetic oil is 2-3 times more expensive than %26quot;mineral based%26quot; oils.
I would recommend a semi-synthetic as there is not much benefit from using 100% synthetic.How much can I expect to pay for a fully synthetic oil change on my 2005 F150 in Tennessee?The only additional charge would be the extra cost of the syn. oil.How much can I expect to pay for a fully synthetic oil change on my 2005 F150 in Tennessee?Tax included, about $50.How much can I expect to pay for a fully synthetic oil change on my 2005 F150 in Tennessee?i think it runs around 49.95 or less for a change with synthetic oil it all depends on the brand of it,and also on the amount it holds,that one will hold a lot so id expect to pay around 40 bucks at least,the most i ever heard of anyone charging around here is 49.95,but that's not to bad considering how long you can run on that stuff,that's probably the best oil ever made,good luck .How much can I expect to pay for a fully synthetic oil change on my 2005 F150 in Tennessee?Why not just call a few local places and ask?
