I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AT 114368 MILES AND RECENTLY HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE OIL FILTER HAD NOT BEEN TIGHTENED COMPLETELY AT THE TIME OF THE OIL CHANGE.. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC THIS HAS CAUSED SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE.. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I COULD DRIVE ALMOST 1700 MILES BEFORE IT HAD CAUSED A PROBLEM? I ALWAYS HAVE REGULAR OIL CHANGES? PLEASE HELP THE MECHANIC SAYS I MAY NEED TO HAVE A NEW MOTOR OR HAVE THE CURRENT ONE REBUILT
