Sorry man. I was afraid of that. In my f80 it was the exact same. Less than 5 min from puncture to engine seizing. At least you have some other toys to play with until she is back home!

Yeah 4 mins and 0.5 miles. Was going up hill on cold water canyon a very busy single lane road so was just looking for somewhere to pull out. I will say for something so essential that oil cooler is very exposed

An afterthought....I only use 20-50 synthetic in our performance builds.....the 0-30 is so thin the bearing barrier must be like water.

Man, sorry to hear that.
It is sucks. Maybe it is still using the breaking-in period oil where it doesn't coat the bearings? Isn't supposedly the new synthetic oil technology will not kill your engine if you drop oil pressure out of a sudden?

Man... I can’t imagine going thru this. I feel for you in this sort of situation. Hope insurance helps out and this problem gets resolved as quick as possible.

Yeah, my insurance is looking at the car early this week and then it's 20 days for the engine to get here from Germany and one week install. Just hope they know what they are doing!

Did they tell you why the engine locked so fast after the warning? I thought the residual synthetic oil would have been enough lubrication to keep the engine from destroying itself for a few minutes especially at low rpm!!??

Hope insurance will pay most off it. Normally they pay what's damaged... which is oil cooler. They will probably fight it because, you didn't stop right away. And will not cover the engine which is over 10k plus the labor price. I hope they pay for engine. Good luck!

Also spoke to shop foreman today at my dealer. If you get the red light saying oil pressure low it is not a drill! It takes only 2 mins for the oil to drain from the cooler. Very very fast and the engine will seize right away. You have to treat it as an accident. Stop wherever you are even if you have to block traffic. Engine oil cooler is designed to be low to ground and flat against floor so that flat surfaces like driveways or the ground dont damage it. However any sharp items go through it like a hot knife through butter. Just a warning to everyone on this board. |
