Agreed on all points. So the question is, what is reasonable compensation for exposing the customer's engine to operating for twenty miles with the incorrect lubricant.

The AG may help with fraud (which would be the case in selling a used car as new) especially if it was perpetrated on a number of consumers. They don't have much interest (or manpower) to get...

Where's the proof damage will occur? If he has that he has a case. That's his dilemma and I don't see how he gets around it.

The FRS in practice isn't very fast, but because of it's small size and low slung center, and the exhaust note, it definitely feels quick. The last car I had that was as much fun as the FRS was an 05...

Yeah, the bit about reduced expected engine life is pure conjecture, but I agree the engine internally is probably fine (and probably a little cleaner).

Congratulations Columbo. I wasn't hiding the source. The implication for the OP would be that the short duration of exposure to ATF instead of oil in his car was not likely to be detrimental.

Dude, the OP is long gone. He sold the FRS, bought a Prius and is living in a commune in Seattle where he's "examining his sexuality" whatever that means.

It all happened back on page #3.
