I am pretty on top of car maintenance and was planning on changing the oil in my 2.3l Mazda 3 this past weekend. Seems I went too long between fluid checks and was about a quart low on oil. Have been reading that the Duratec motors burn oil, which I did not know. No idiot lights came on.

Anyway, was taking a fairly aggressive turn. Looks like I starved the engine of oil due to the lower level and spun a bearing or something. Got a nice knocking noise now. Changed the oil when I got home and sure enough.....metal flake....bummer.

Take her to the shop on Thurs. Any idea what I am looking at cost-wise?

Anyone ever have this happen??

TIA!
