Malibu Classic 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 160,000 miles

I purchased an 05 Chevy Malibu Classic in April of 2015 and used Dollar General Motor oil - and my car motor blew up on the Causeway coming from New Orleans back home. It had to be towed and was scrapped as a result as it was unfixable by that time. I signed up for the lawsuit but never received a dime and I drove it until that August and that's when it happened. It was determined that the oil caused it, but after it got towed, and scrapped, I had no paperwork on it because I didn't even get a chance to register it as it quit the day before the temp tag went out. I would like to be compensated for all the oil that was purchased which was more than 10 units. We had to put oil in it every time we used it.
