That's what I'm trying to do, but it seems like every question I ask they just stone wall me and say it was "oil starvation". Its become the end all be all to any conversation I try to start with anyone. I've seen online most recommended oil changes for the FA20 is 5,000 miles, and a few places say 5-10,000. I know the oil needed changed, but it wasnt low, not by any means. But even if 5000 miles is recommended, I cant imagine instant catastrophic engine failure for going 2,000 miles over that. From the time the ticking started on my way to work to the time the car died goin to the dealership was maybe 15 miles. That's just absolutely insane to me.
