Description of the problem	Today i was driving home from work and everything was fine. I stopped at the grocery store and i finished there and i was making my way home. I got about 3 or so miles away from my home and i noticed my oil light was on. So i pulled over to check the oil and everything was fine. I didn't see a need to have it towed thought it was telling me it was time for an oil change. I proceeded one and i got about a mile or so from my house i'm at a stop light and now my check engine light is on along with my oil light. Then all of a sudden it just died right in front of the traffic light. I called a tow truck and had it towed. They had looked at it and found that the engine had no oil pressure and the engine was shot. I needed a new one. I still owe more than the vehicle is worth. Someone needs to look into this.
