Hello- First time posting so bear with me please,
We took our 2008 Jetta to dealer for the 10,000 mile service/oil change. This is the same dealer where we purchased the car. We live about 40 mile from dealership, and by the time my wife got home, the oil/service light came on and she pulled into the drive and shut the car off. It has been raining all day and shortly the driveway looked like the Valdez oil spill. I opened the hood and found that there was no no oil registering on the dip stick. Called the dealer and they arranged a tow truck to take the car back to the dealer. I followed along and when put on the lift it was determined after pulling the filter, that the VW filter gasket was defective. They replaced the filter/gasket and added about 5 quarts of oil before it was at the proper level, started the car and it seemed to sound normal, but they said they will keep it overnight and start it cold tomorrow morning. As you can understand, we are both very concerned about this. Any ideas what damage has been done?? Thanks for your time
