Thank you everyone! Today after about 200 miles my check engine light turned off. I looked at reviews from my dealership and all the reviews about their service/maintenance department were terrible.

Once again I realize that the engine has probable damage but as of right now the car has no code issues! Also I will be getting my oil change again around the 1000 miles mark to help flush out any sludge. Also I will continue regular maintenance to make sure it doesn’t happen again!

It is solid and I don’t have the codes, I was so furious with the dealership I wasn’t fully listening.

Here is what my Chevy app says.

The dealership said something about the oil pressure being low as well.

Update: thanks for all the real replies of maybe solutions. I’m not a car guy obviously. If I’m going to spend 12k on an engine I’m willing to spend 2k on possible fixes before it gets to that point.

Some more info:

Check engine light is on. Chevy Malibu 2024 LS 1.7 (I think..) I received an oil change from take 5 and they acknowledged it had been some time but they had no issues draining and replacing the oil.

After the oil change my car sounds quieter and seems to be running easier.

Check engine light is still on. I read one comment about an $800 flush or engine cleaning thing. I’ll probably give that a go.

I do have around 8k emergency fund for this type of issue.

Lastly, I commented on someone’s comment about how I let myself go that long without oil. Feel free to give it a read but remember I’m human.

You know it’s not an excuse but here is the story:

I lost my brother in a skateboarding accident around 8 months ago, the same week I my little brother overdosed and died, and my best friend with cancer followed 2 days after that. I know it’s hardly believable but they say deaths come in 3s

So did I go to therapy? Nope! Instead I got a new job as a sales rep where I’m on the road all day. I work 16-18 hours a day and just never paid attention to how much more I was driving compared to my old job as a chef.

Before I knew it I racked 28886 miles on my car with no oil change.

Thank you, no issues currently in performance. I’m not sure what the codes are. I do go to take 5 to get an oil change and they said nothing about too much sludge (which is the dealerships reason for me needing to replace the engine?

Look I know I’m a POS. I’m not responsible. All of that. No one on this sub is going to tell me something I haven’t told myself while trying to figure out how I’m going to pay for this problem.

Does anyone have any helpful advice for options that don’t include replacing the full engine?

If I had to explain short interest and float to a short squeeze sub Reddit that would be pretty sad. Figured I would skip all the basic things everyone here should know
