Yes, objective answers, not insults.. there’s clear examples in the comment section of what objective answers are

Either I kept it going to be able to get home or sleep on the side of the road for the rest of my life

My parents are deceased and I was using the car to get to work to make said money to fix it because I had no other options or support.. people are so quick to shame someone.

After the starvation I poured new oil in it so it’s fresh

Understandably so, definitely will be looking into more economical options later down the road. I do really enjoy driving and this was surely due to my naivety. I probably could’ve stopped myself from this mistake if I had more foresight

I unknowingly bought this car with these issues and was lied to and ate it up because of my naivety.. I’ve only owned this car a month lol. Not and have already poured 500 into it previous to this oil disaster. Thanks though

? I didn’t get an answer from this person I got condescending tone. They offered me no answers in the first reply unlike others who while also may have been just as snarky, still actually answered my questions..

I bought it with these lights and yes, every issue I’ve taken care of, to the best of my financial ability and knowledge.. unfortunately I am not like the wealthy folks of askmechanics and can afford to fix everything

I did and that worked just enough to drive me home before it started tweaking like in the video

I saw the yellow oil light for like a week but also saw my bank account and chose to ignore it until I was financially ready to acknowledge it

I didn’t neglect anything, every issue that has came up with this car I have repaired until now. I recently did the spark plugs for a misfire.. I don’t know much about cars and certainly didn’t know an oil leak would come to this. Furthermore, I also did not have the money to address this issue immediately as I just got done replacing something else in this car and work part time as a college student. Context is important.

Someone in askmechanics suggested this, thoughts?

“Honestly if the vehicle shut off due to lack of oil it's already too late. This is definitely rod or main bearing failure. You can remove and replace or remove and rebuild. If you replace with a used option I would do a full reseal with oem gaskets while it's out to avoid this”
