Was there a loud bang? Wish there were pics of the enginebay/ oil pan.

Good news is, your car is stock. Your warranty will cover it.

Holy CRAP man... That's crazy! I'm going with either a blown rod popping through the block, or a total loss of oil from the plug, blowing the motor. Either way, if your stock you are likely good. Sorry this happened, but glad YOU are ok! Were there injuries?

Damn. Well, your engine definitely blew up somewhere. I see youre new to the forum, but I hope you'll stick around with us and keep us updated. Sucks that this happened to ya man, what a fluke.

There was a major car accident caused from the oil on the road I was fortunate that nothing happened to me but before the police arrived there was a 4 car pile up and some serious injuries to the passengers in one of the vehicles involved in the crash

Awful man. My apologies for hinting at even doubting it. Prayers for those involved. Please keep us up to date on what happened. I think it's oil loss. Seems to favor the right side, so maybe the drain plug. Who did the oil change?

You put 4800 miles on it since the oil change? I doubt that has anything to do with it. Sorry to hear about your car. Glad you’re ok and I hope others involved are ok too

Good... Yeah it's highly odd to have a plug suddenly loosen after that many miles, but if you didn't hear a bang, it sounds like no oil. Could be a line, or many other possibilities

I was originally thinking oil loss as well, but he should have seen a "low oil" light well before any damage would have been done. I guess it depends on how fast the leak progressed if that was the cause.
