Description of the problem	While driving on interstate on 2/1/18 my oil light came on so i pulled over as quick as i could and shut off the car. I live in nd and it was below zero and it has been extremely cold. Not sure what happened or why there was a pile of oil under my car i got it towed to the shop to find out my rear main seal blew out. The technician told me that there were ice crystals around the main seal and there was nothing that could have prevented it from happening. I paid $1,700 to get it fixed and the shop said that the engine was still good. Well i picked it up from the shop and drove home (i live 40 miles out of town) and it seemed fine. Unfortunately when i was driving to work the next day, mind you it was still well below zero degrees outside, the engine started knocking and i shut of the car as fast as i could; i got stranded along the interstate again but this time with my 6 month old son
