July 24, 200619 yr Alright I was doing an oil change in my G6 yesterday and I got sidetracked and then i brought the car down and used my remote and started the car from inside my house i came outside to a whole bunch of pings and dings and realizeing what I did shut off the engine. I added oil and am waiting to start it but what would be the best thing to do now start it or would it hurt it. I'm on a lease so I'm kinda not knowing what to do help me...
July 24, 200619 yr Holy $h!, dude. Pings and dings? That could be your cylinder walls being eaten away. Yikes. I'd add the oil back in and, since it's on a lease, go back to the dealer (if possible) and say, "Hey man, WTF did you sell me?!" But that's just me.
July 25, 200619 yr Author Well it runs it seems like it might have some more noise coming from the engine then previously but it runs so I guess I will forget all about what happened and continue on just glad I didn't really kill my engine I guess I got lucky.
July 25, 200619 yr 1. how long did it run for? 2. Marvel's Mystery Oil or Lucas might help, anyone else got insight on that?

August 1, 200619 yr Well, atleast you dont have piston slap! Just kidding! Well personally, I dunno what I would do if I was you...because under warranty, isnt the dealership supposed to do all of your warranties?
