Sorry to see that. I wonder what caused that to happen...low oil level? You might have caught it early enough. Best of luck

dont get me started . In my usual fashion, I pulled out 1/2 of the oilpan bolts in my garage, and couldn't get the Downpipe off, so I had it towed to the dealership. I re-thought when and how, and here is my conclusion. the oil was barely on the dipstick, and we went around some sharp turns (like Lombard street) in San Fran, that caused what little oil was there to slosh arould and cause the oil-starvation and the rod bearing issue. thanks for the wishing me luck, I will need it.

I have photos of the oil, and there is NO tinge to it, nor any grit in it. thats what gave me the "false-hope" that is couldn't be a spun bearing.

You mentioned that the car only had one quart of oil when you checked it after you heard the knock. I doubt that your car lost three quarts of oil since the oil change.
I would go to the place that changed the oil and tell them what happened and the damage that their geligence has caused.
