I had the shop come and clean it up. I will probably take it to the dealership and have them check it out. Thanks for the feedback.

 

wow man! u should go to that place and raise hell! Damnn!! Thats why i get my oil changed at my brothers place cuz i know he would be careful

 

Good move. My assumption (guessing what you did) was wrong .

Making the shop do the clean-up was very wise. Of course, they would be stupid if resisting this (they created the problem, and refusal to correct it would open them to a lot of liability... an oil spill, no matter how small, requires a cleanup).

...very smart and alert guy

Thanks, well, it happened at my work. We are manufacturers, so the environmental/quality guys would be all over my as s if it wasn't cleaned up and I certainly wasn't gonna clean it up.

 

Based on how much oil came out, do you think i am ok?

 

I'm pretty sure your engine is OK. Lots of oil (notice the volume of the "spill") keeps the engine safe. I experienced nearly the same thing, and the outcome was favorable (no engine damage).

I would still send a registered letter to the shop. Since they had to do a "spill-cleanup," your case is already established.

It looks like you'll be fine. However, I'd still have it fully checked out at the shop's expense.

 

24 hr lunch?

 

damn I hope your engine is not fck'd up
btw, nice pic. Looks like you're one space (step) away from the reserve space

 

Maybe the tech owns an SRT-4 and got jealous and sabotaged you

 

WTF?!?!? Never heard of this happening before.

 

Youre wrong. I know the tech myself, hes my cousin's uncle's sister's brother y0....and he drives Honda Integra Type- ARRRR! (not Acura RSX, JDM badges s0n) with that s!ck K20....he'll wipe up Z dust with his FWD skills son.

 

that is not right.i worked at a grease monkey and my friend forgot to put the oil plug back on this guys STI and he got a half hour away and his engine blew.both techs got fired...the tech that did the work and the tech that was supposed to finalize.same thing happened before i worked there i replaced a guy who put a plug on only hand tight and same thing happened...blown engine.****canned.

 

man thats an *** hat move, you could possible have some damage to your crank if the rod bearings started to go, it just depends on how much oil was in the motor when you drove the car, if the oil was full and didnt start spilling at all untill the car was off you should be fine.

 

only time will tell if you have any engine damage. Some times, things will fail sooner than they would have under normal operating conditions. However, it obviously had some oil in it when you stopped the engine, so possibly you will be alright. Stories like this make me glad that I always change my own oil, grease monkeys are only grease monkeys for a reason.

 

I think i would of been in a rage if i seen that coming back from lunch or from work.

 

having spent some serious time in the auto service industry,and having seen this scenerio several times, here is what should be done if any of you ever have this happen to you:
1. dont touch the car, call the place that did the oil change and have the car picked up.
2. have the car taken to a dealership to be checked. they will not only run comp/leakdown but also send the oil out for analysis.. looking for metals etc.
this is the only way to know what damage happened.
OP, best of luck, make sure Nissan dealership checks your engine.

 

OP WTF happened?

 

+1.. I'd just replenish the engine with a new batch of oil, take it as a lesson learned, call it a day...
