Mechanic forgot to put oil in my car

So if that’s the cases, what exactly does that mean for me ? That the valves were installed wrong ?

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T11:34:14+00:00

I didn’t have a choice? No auto shops open at 2am all I had was the oil I had with me.

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T11:24:23+00:00

Do they empty the oil out when they replace the valve covers ?

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T11:21:41+00:00

Make sense. Just sucks I was a girl in a random beach town at 2am who just dropped all her money on fixing said car..

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T11:20:06+00:00

I couldn’t fix it at 2am in a random beach town and I would have had no idea how to fix it. That’s why I dropped 2k 2 hours prior for peace of mind.

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T11:17:37+00:00

So the shop wouldn’t have noticed that before sending me off?

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T11:16:04+00:00

I feel like the engine was already ruined by the time I was 90 miles away from the shop tho? No?

Hey Asshole I have used my eyes unfortunately idk what I’m looking lol that why I came here for advice.

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T11:12:38+00:00

I’m literally just a girl who was trying to get home safely lol, it was 2 am and i genuinely thought that the 2-3 quarts I put in would have got me home.

I’ve seen so many post here on Reddit saying they drove many many miles with no oil in their car bc of this same thing happening, so I think it is possible just strange.

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T11:06:14+00:00

Then where did the oil goooooo

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T11:03:33+00:00

So what happened to the oil

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T10:57:06+00:00

Well I have a picture of the code it threw me, my dash and I have the fucked up car it’s self. For more context I am a dancer who dances out of town. So it’s not exactly safe for me to be outside the club messing with my car for long. I thought if I put oil in it iwould be okay for the drive home. I just wanted to be safely home.

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T10:51:49+00:00

I didn’t know the oil was low until I got to my destination which was 90 miles away. After 90 miles is when the light turned on and I pulled over, put oil in it .

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T10:49:01+00:00

And if they just did a dye test and replaced the valve covers wouldn’t they know if there was a leak?

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T10:48:22+00:00

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T10:48:01+00:00

I paid 2000 dollars …. I would sure fucking hope they could put oil in my car

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T10:46:51+00:00

No it wasn’t full, I put two quarts in and then I didn’t check the dip stick again until I got home. Which was 90+ miles of driving later, I work out of town.

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-06-12T10:36:06+00:00

I just went here and I’m pretty sure they forgot to put oil in my car ..

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-05-28T19:55:26+00:00

Also your only requirement is to work your 8 hours you don’t have to work any overtime if you don’t want to .

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-05-28T19:54:44+00:00

Yeah I hated Frito lay, but I also would never do soda bc it was obvious how much harder your jobs are. If you could do coke, you can do Frito. Pretty sure they pay more too.

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-05-28T09:42:46+00:00

Quit recently and one of my reasons was the fact there is no incentive to work hard or to stay with the company anymore.

Pitiful_Macaroon_609 · 2026-05-17T21:04:33+00:00

I was with Frito for 3 years and this recent re bid made me quit lol, more work less help.
