well, today (tuesday aug 4th) i decided to be a nice guy and take the day off the go test drive some cars with a friend of mine because she is looking for a new car....so we had just test drove a speedmiata at sutherlin mazda (mall of georgia area) and were head to rick case maz in duluth...about half way there i looked to see where i was at with gas and as im looking at my gauge cluster my obnoxious oil light turns on, so maybe 200ft later i start to pull over and suddenly my CE light and battery light pop on and i lose all my power completly so i kill the car and some how coast to a parking spot.

when i get out of the car i see that i have left a good 250ft trail of fresh sythetic oil, so i look under the car to find the rest of it pouring out of my oil pan.

fianlly got it towed to rick case only to hear that i cooked my motor because of the awesome tech that didnt tighten up my pan plug at big ten tires in alpharetta on sunday night.

so now i have a $4500 repair to fight with Big Ten with. and no money for a rental because mazda couldnt provide a loaner for me.

gloria is not top notch right now .ha

Just the name Big Ten Tires doesn't inspire confidence.
Oil change at a tire place?

Sorry to hear man, good luck with a new motor.
Ken @ Protege Garage might be able to help you find a used one if you can't get one covered.
 
i usually do change my own and end up having old oil sitting around for ever so i decided to trust my tire guys who change oil for my family all the time.....


plus side is big ten may pay for this and my original motor was the 2.0 not 2.3 so maybe i can pay the diffrence and put the 2.3 mz3 motor in it haha
wishfull thinking
