| Description of the problem | My vehicle was in motion on a city street. I only have 54000 miles on the engine and the car is less than 5 years old. Engine spontaneously started knocking and stalled out. The issue is spun rod bearing and the cause is oil starvation. There was no oil on the dipstick, and no prior signs of oil leak at home or at work . Oil pressure light never lit up. Additionally, i check/change my oil every 3000 miles rather than the minimum factory recommendation of every 6000. |
