I was already planning on getting my oil changed on the first of february, even though i still had a few hundred miles left. but the day before, my oil light kept flashing on and off. mostly when it was idling. i checked my oil levels mid day during lunch, and all seemed okay. well i was driving 3 miles from my house to church friday night, january 31, and as i was driving, just getting up to about 50-55 mph, i heard a loud bang and felt my car jolt. made it safely to the side of the road and called a tow truck. after the jolt, my battery light came on. never saw a check engine light. the tow truck driver was not able to start the car and told me that my oil was low. the following day when my dealership checked through everything, they told me that my engine had seized and i need to get a new engine. this seems to be a reoccurring problem with this car year and model. i have a little under 110,000 miles.
