LOW ON OIL

I hate to admit it but was so busy I took my truck to a Conoco express for an oil change and the morons did not tighten the drain plug and I lost about a quart and a half of oil on the v10. Noticed the oil pressure did not come up immediatly on start up but showed full pressure after about 30 seconds. I found the problem and resolved. Should I be worried if it ran this way for about 60 miles? Most of the feed back is that with the synthetic blend it should be ok. Input would be appreciated.

If you only lost a quart or so you should be ok.

Maybe contact that outfit, talk to a regional supervisor and let them know what happened. In the event of any damage you'd want to have this mishap on record. Keep the receipt too!

Since you caught this soon enough its not likely any damage has been done. Good catch on this though.

I documented everything and wrote a couple of letters as backup. I am pretty confident after all of the response that all is ok. thanks for the feedback.
