While driving home from vacation, the engine sounded like something broke loose on the inside. (2.7) We take it in and they spend a week getting to it and still can't figure out what caused itr. The number 5&6 cylinder walls are damaged, the rings are shot, pistons busted, and the valves for those cylinders are screwed up. They thought it was the oil pump but removed it and everything was fine. The warranty company asked for oil receipts and I'm coming up 600miles over the limit. I can't find any of my other receipts! They haven't said if it is oil change related, but I have a feeling they are going to take advantage of the fact that I don't have my receipts. (I change my oil myself) I bought the car with 48k on it, I have no idea what the guy before me did with it, or if he kept up his service, the car ran fine, even after the engine started making noise. I had to drive it 2 miles to the nearest hotel in Oklahoma City. I should find out tomorrow what the inspector found and what they plan on doing. What should I do if they try to tell me that it's not warranted work ?
***BTW, It's a 98 and I've only put 11k on it in 4 months, all highway miles.
Thanks
