The car sounded fine, so I took off for work. It's about an 8 mile trip down the interstate to work. So about a mile and a half away from work, my car makes a little lunge and this rattling starts from the motor. I slow down and notice my oil pressure went from about 30psi to 16psi. I have one stop sign where I exit the interstate and then my last half mile of 35mph driving. When I stopped at the stop sign, the car felt like it was running on 7 cylinders and knocking pretty bad. I limped my last little distance and parked the car and as I parked the check oil light came on and the pressure went to 6psi. After it cooled down I checked the oil and has gone from clean last night, to black and lots of grainy metal shavings. Obviously something internal went, but what normally would be gone with these symptoms? I haven't been hard on the car in forever since there has been so much snow lately and it's my DD. The car did sit for 2 weeks over the holidays. I had my oil changed exactly 261 miles ago and made the swap to full synthetic. To me I am thinking I spun a bearing. I just don't know. |
