The reason I ask is because my Mystique broke down on the beltway while I was on my way to work... It was closer to bring it there then to bring it home... So I had it towed there... I have the premium care warranty on my car so I was like whatever... anyway they hooked me up with a rental car and I was off... The next day I called and they told me I needed a new motor (Spun Bearing & #6 connector rod broke loose) and that the warranty inspector was going to come out to authorizethe job... At no time did anybody at Kip Killman's tell me my car was low on oil and I just checked it that morning with my fill up and it was a little under full but I had driven the car like 6 miles to the gas station... Well the inspector came and said that the damage was caused because the oil filter was put on wrong and the car's oil had leaked out... Long&Short they aren't going to cover the repair and they said I should go to the place where I got my oil changed... I find all of this very suspicious... 1) Because nobody a Kip Killman's that diagnosed the problem mentioned that my oil level was low
2)When I talked with the service advisor I mentioned to him that I had heard it was pretty common for the 2.5l Duratec to go down due to "Spun Bearings" He replied " Well it's definitely not uncommon" 3) My last oil change was about 2700 mile ago in October and I figure that something would have occurred b4 this if the oil filter was on wrong like I would have seen an oil light go on when I was getting low on oil hmmmmmm very suspicious to me. What does everyone think???
