I'm already reading off a mechanical one. I'm gonna have a better place to work on it soon. So i'll be able to tear it down if I need it... I might do it anyways because I think it may have some more issues than oiling system

Well I ran it till it died. Which consisted of driving it 1/4 mile down the road smoking out my buddy behind till the car died. 1st gear very little power. 2nd felt like riding a bike. And 3rd gear felt I was slowing down... All at various points of throttle until it died. and here i sit on the side of the road waiting for a free tow.

Found out why I was getting little to no oil pressure... Started to pull the engine part by draining fluid, well I started with the oil as soon as I got the oil filter off I noticed that no oil came out, and there was oil stuck in the filter, shook it and heard it sloshing around.

K&N Filter previous owners doing.

So you purchased a car and you didn't do a full tune up before driving it? That cost you your motor. Correct me if I'm wrong.
