My engine broke after I changed oil at Walmart. It happened 9 miles after I changed the oil (11 days after the date). I use this car once or twice a week. The store is in Lawton,OK. Walmart is a horrible organization. Will see if they will reimburse me for that.
Will keep you posted. I just filed the claim today.

Lindsay, I just came across your complaint a few minutes ago, and I feel it vital to advise you that this is an ongoing problem with Walmart. They hire inexperienced people at $8.00 per hour to work in the Tire and Lube Express, thus resulting in this nationwide problem. These associates (employees) are told to rush cars through and to get them done before they can leave, most don't even get breaks! And, they do this in the heat of the day, and the coldest of days! I can tell you this. A friend of mine who had his oil changed at the Burleson, Texas store in 2007 had this problem, only they didn't put any oil in his vehicle, period. The car ultimately overheated and blew up! Initially, Walmart was not going to do anything about it, until my friend, Sam Salem, pushed it and demanded they review the video tapes in the car bays, THEY DO TAPE EVERYTHING, and Walmart agreed to replace the engine after it was obvious the technician did not put oil in his car! This has happened multiple times with Walmart, I wouldn't let this go if I were you! I would contact the store manager again and demand they review the tapes during the procedure on your car, find out how long the associate who worked on your car has been there, how much experience he has, then go from there! This tech may have been under your car for less than 30 seconds trying to get your oil plug back in, then may not have rechecked it after the oil was put back in! I, for one, and many others I know, will not go to Walmart at all, let alone use them for an oil change! I am a former employee of this horrible company and am pursuing my own issues, and will not ever spend another dime in one of their stores! Good luck, and let me know how it goes?!

Put the shoe on the other foot, just for a second.
If you did some work for someone, and 3 - 4 weeks later they claim that something you did to their car caused it to lose all the oil, and caused their motor to crash.
Before you paid out any $$$ to fix the car, I know you would want some kind of proof that your work caused this issue.
It may sound like a cop out, but engines are very expensive, and your car is a 2006. I'm not saying you did this on purpose, but without proof that Walmart's staff made a mistake, you are going to have to fix this yourself.
sorry
