Car story. My Honda Accord has been making a weird noise since I got back from Mexico in Oct. Had the oil changed just before we went, at a local quick lube place that everyone uses. My brother is a mechanic, had him go through the car- he checked everything except the oil (as it had just been done) and couldn't find anything wrong. We chalked it up to road noise from the tires. Tuesday at lunch I had 3 lights come on in the dash, none oil related, but had DH check the oil anyway. Guess how much showed on the dipstick? None! 3 quarts low, it only holds 5... No leaking in my parking spot at work or in my garage at home. Thinking the quick lube place didn't put enough in. That was 7000 miles ago.. Hopefully I didn't cause any permanent damage. Lesson learned too. Everyone makes mistakes, and I'll be re-checking my own oil from now on!
