I took my farm truck in to have the oil changed about 5 weeks ago. The following week I took my car in for an oil change. Within a week the car's engine started to knock badly, a couple of days later, my oil light came on. Fortunately I was very near a Jiffy Lube in Lake St. Louis, I pulled in and told them that my oil light was on. They checked the oil and showed me that it would not register on the oil stick, they changed the filter and filled the oil.
Today I started on a road trip with the truck and horse trailer, I noticed an oil spot under the truck, I had also been hearing a knock that I thought was the muffler, fortunately I decided to check the oil even though I had only driven about 800 miles since the oil change, it barely showed on the oil stick! I put 3 quarts of oil in and started the trip. I stopped in Troy MO to get gas and when I looked under the truck-oil was streaming out! I begged a gentleman to help me, he crawled under the truck and tightened the oil filter, he said that it was so loose that it was a wonder that it had not fallen off. I then put another 2 quarts of oil in and went on my way.
