This concerns a 2001 chevy prism with 138k miles. The engine was irreparably damaged due to oil deprivation. There was no warning other than the knocking sound and by then it was too late. Oil was changed every 3k miles using high quality conventional oil & filters.
In mid December while driving at highway speed the vehicle shifted into neutral. The vehicle shifted gears after the shifter was very lightly brushed with my hand as I reached for something. This incident has happened two other times since then while in similar circumstances.
