I GOT MY OIL CHANGED ON MONDAY TODAY IS THURSDAY. WHILE DRIVING MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR STOPPED. WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL IT WAS EMPTY. AND THERE WAS NO OIL N FRONT OF THE HOUSE WHERE I WAS PARKED. DO U THINK THEY PUT THE WRONG FILTER ON?

Was the oil change performed at a quick lube type shop? What happens a lot of times is that these places will mis-thread the drain plug and the oil will leak out while driving. If the filter was the wrong size then it wouldn't have screwed on so I don't believe the filter is at fault unless it just wasn't tightened, which it only needs to be tightened a little so I doubt if that is the problem either.

Thanks for using 2CarPros. Com!
