HELLO,
I TOOK MY CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WHEN THEY WERE FINISHED I PAID AND GOT IN MY VEHICLE AND LEFT , I WENT APPROX. 250 FEET DOWN THE ROAD AND MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON SO I TURNED AROUND IMMEDIATELY AND WENT RIGHT BACK AND TOLD THEM . THEY TOOK A LOOK OIL WAS ALL OVER THE UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR - WHICH IS A 2011 NISSAN MURANO - THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THAT THE OIL FILTER GASKET HAD A CRACK AND THAT'S WHY THE OIL LEAK - THEY CHANGED THE FILTER AND SAID THEY REPLACED ABOUT 2 1/2 QUARTS OF OIL . I THEN LEFT AND THINGS SEEMED TO BE OK - UNTIL NEXT MORNING WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND HEARD A DRY RAPPING NOISE THAT LASTED ABOUT 4-5 SEC. - I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO THEM - THEY DID A OIL CHANGE AGAIN AND PUT THEIR OIL & FILTER IN IT AND THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT TAKE CARE OF IT .. NEXT DAY - SAME THING - SAME NOISE AND EVERY MORNING SINCE ... HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR SITS ALL NIGHT . CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE WOULD OCCUR WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR OIL LIKE THAT ... AND WHAT WOULD BE THE FIX TO THIS SITUATION !!!!! I FEEL THAT IT HAS DAMAGED SOMETHING INTERNAL WHERE AS THE OIL DOES NOT STAY RETAINED IN THE UPPER END OF THE ENGINE . SO IT MAKES THE NOISE WHEN I START IT UNTIL OIL GETS PUMPED TO THE UPPER END .?????? THANK- YOU FOR YOUR HELP....!

That oil change place owes you an engine and you need to stop messing with the car and notify them immediately that you want the engine replaced and by someone other than them. What happened is when the guy put the oil filter on, the old gasket was still there because it didn't come off with the filter and when you double gasket, they pour oil out and do severe damage. They also lied about how much oil they put back in because that car was empty when you brought it back to them. They have insurance for things like this but don't waste any more time.
