Re: Catastrophic failure

- Do you have more than 200K miles? - Sounds like a classic case of infrequent oil changes (such as 8K-10K intervals) causing engine sludge. Compounded by the oil pan O-ring issues causing froth (mix of oil + air instead of oil), the engine is probably damaged beyond possible fix. - Get a 2nd opinio...
