[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 558987, member: 61743"] 7000 miles is over the recommended oil change interval (5000), but that's not enough by itself to kill the engine. On the other hand, running low on 7000 mile-old two-quarts-of-sludge because you didn't even check the oil, let alone change it, that's your fault and if they can prove it, you're buying an engine. Dumping in a few more quarts might cover that up unless the dealer cuts open the oil filter or tears the engine down and sees all kind of scoring, then you're busted. [/QUOTE]
