Missing oil filter = engine locking - Toyota Yaris Forums

if you didn't do anything to the car prior the accident, I would go back to car max and give them hell ...

oil filter is not a thing that we always check in the morning ...it'll be a different story if you're missing the oil dip stick .

talk to their manager and gradually to the top of the chain ...just my .02c

Thanks! Do you think a hard acceleration could have knocked it off if it was loose? It's definitely Carmax's fault but I'm going to have to sue because they are not budging.
