I dont mean to thread jack threads but if helps at least one person out with any time of car, ill be happy. The picture i posted had brand new oil put into it 2 weeks prior (about 500-600kms) and look at it now. Now yes that was caused by a tow truck towing my car wrong but if people neglect their drivetrain, this **** will happen as well.

Which reminds me. Dont forgot to change spark plugs and gap them. Or this could happen (just finished pulling my friends engine due to a faulty spark plug)

Are you suggesting that the thrown rod was because of a faulty spark plug? Or that we need to change transmission or differential oil every 500 miles?

Really?

Just check with the owners,did you check you oil level when the engine is cold [overnight] or warm[after shut down for 10-15 mins].?I check my oil level overnight,the level is at the upper hole on the dipstick...any comments.?

I was wondering the same thing. I'm certainly no expert, but can't visualize how a bad plug could cause that much damage to a passenger engine - unless part of the plug fell into the cylinder. Can someone enlighten us?
