Description of the problem	Purchased this car in september 2016,replaced rear drivers side tail light,two weeks later the same tail light blew out and i replaced it again. I have replaced this same tail light every month now since i purchased the car. I have also changed the oil faithfully since i purchased the car in september of 2016. The oil light started illuminating last month(march)then it would go out,i had the oil changed,3 weeks later the light illuminated and the check engine light illuminated again,again,i had the oil changed first week of april. I was driving home from running errands,car would not pick up speed on the interstate so i pulled off to the shoulder got out checked under the hood because the check engine light had illuminated again and the car had a knocking noise coming from the engine compartment,i check the oil dipstick,it was bone dry,i had just had the oil changed maybe two weeks prior. I had the car towed home,put a couple of quarts of oil in the car,started it up and it stalled out in the driveway. April 26,i had it towed to my mechanic shop to diagnose the issue. Today april 28,2017 he tells me that the oil bearing is losing oil pressure and now i need a new engine.
