2001 Siverado had a knock in it that quit after warming up. Ran rough - like it was missing out. Day later oil pressure gauge pegs, runs even rougher, stalling at idle. Let sit for 3 hrs/go to start. Knock is worse. Oil shoots out of bottom of truck. Gauge reads low oil level. Trun off immediately. Mechanic looks at it and finds the gasket is sticking out of the side of the oil filter. Owner of the place I got the oil changed comes out with a new filter and oil. His mechanic says its a bad filter. He says it will be a fight with Quaker State. He then calls me and tells me (after talking with two guys who havent seen the truck) that it is a pressure relief valve problem and had nothing to do with the oil filter. Feel like I'm getting played. Any thoughts?
