So I have a 2009 v6 and I made a rookie mistake changing oil. I accidentally cross-threaded the oil filter and when I started the car, all the oil drained and the car quit after about a minute or two. I never drove the car anywhere. When it died it seemed more like the computer killed it as shut it off pretty quietly, no clunking or anything. It wasn't able to restart after I put on a new filter and replaced the oil. The engine turns over but wont fire.

Wondering if anyone has any insights on how to tackle this and get back on the road. I spoke top a mechanic over the phone and the suggested to just replace the engine but I'm not sure if thats the best course of action. I'm not afraid to take the time and get my hands dirty but I'm pretty young and don't have a huge knowledge base for this situation. I'm speculating that its out of time and has lost compression but I guess i'm not sure where to start or if I just need a new engine.

Any help would be very much appreciated!
Cheers

 

1 thread is enough on this. It will not help to post the same over again

 

Correct, post once, in the proper section, and you get appropriate responses. Posting the same thing multiple times makes it difficult to search, and actually makes it more difficult to get answers. Your original post already has answers, not sure why you feel the need to post again.
