Anybody near Albertville, MN?

My sister's car is at the outlet mall. She went to leave last night and found a huge puddle of oil under her car. She left it there overnight and hasn't been able to pick it up today (her boyfriend was supposed to help her out, but he's still hunting :shakehead).

She had the oil changed about 2000 miles ago. She's not a car person, but says her oil light was on. She added 3 quarts of oil and now all the oil is on the ground. Not sure if it's just a simple oil filter/drain plug issue or something more in depth.

Anybody able to pick the car up or recommend a place to tow it to for reasonable? It's a 2002 Sunfire with the 2.4L.

Much appreciated! It's hard being so far away and talking to someone that doesn't know much about cars, while still being patient because she's your sister.

Well, I'm 5 miles from Albertville, AL but that doesn't help you. Sounds like the plug is gone.

Her boyfriend and his father just went to go get it. I'm not sure how knowledgeable they are about cars though. We shall see!

Sounds like a pretty good chance of the typical oil plug/pan F'd by the oil change place. Hopefully she caught it in time to save engine. Get it taken care of? I'm only 15-20 from there.

Well if they already went to go get it and need any further assitance pm me and I'll give them a hand. A member off the Mnshoc works for u-haul and could get them a deal on a car dolly if need be..
