oil wasn't filled

I am assuming it didn't smoke either

that sucks, assuming someone else changed it?


by chance can they rebuild? I think you need to ship yours for a core anyway....

I got a shop getting me a quote for rebuild but I was wanting to explore all my options…dealer said they would rebuild it but the 8700 is more then I paid for the unit new

Where are you located??is this something you’ve done before??

 

[DRZRon1]

my buddies would do it for cost of parts, a couple of 30 packs of natural lite, bottle of JD and a cord of hardwood for the garage stove

Good grief those prices seem insane. I completely built a 500 hp Chevrolet LSV8 for much less than that and you can buy a GM crate engine for much less too. This just does not compute. LS3 430HP Long Block

Thanks for your help I sent them a message

100 miles on a fresh service - This is what I think happened, whoever changed the oil forgot to refill it. If it was the dealer, raise hell.
