| Description of the problem | We got our first oil change and afterwards my car started smoking really bad and the low oil light came on. When i called my boyfriend to come help me 15 quarts of oil later and 2 filters later, it was finally noticed the original o ring had melted to the block. The oil had sprayed all over the underside of my vehicle and started to burn. Had i not pulld over when i had my car probably would have caught fire. I pulled over just in time. My boyfriend seems to think that this happened bacause of where the position of the oil filter is basically it is to close to the exhaust manifold and the ring is getting to hot and melting to the block.*ak |
