'89 Honda CRX Si, a buck twenty on the 401, and a sudden, brief clankity clank that sounds too loud for a tire spitting out a pebble. The oil warning light then pops, and by the time I was able to get three lanes over to the shoulder, seized engine.

They didn't tighten the drain plug during the service the week before. It used one litre per 600km after they fixed the motor. I then fixed them back when I traded for a '92 Acura Integra GSR, oil consumption discussion absent.

Mistakes happen. Be vigilant. No one, no system, is perfect. Think about the oversights any one of us makes while at work. It's life and it just sucks sometimes.
