   "Isn't the car supposed to tell you when it needs oil? My last one did..."   
      
   Her Subaru Outback lit the MIL. I plugged my OBD reader and got a code about   
   insufficient oil pressure. Check the oil, and there was NONE.   
      
   I suggested she drive it immediately to the local oil changers, and she said   
   she was taking it in to the dealer on Monday and wasn't driving it.   
      
   Sunday, I get a call from her - the car died on the road while she was driving   
   to TARGET.   
      
   It passed their tests OK, don't think she bored it out. $2900 for a valve   
   adjustment, replacing a leaky oil pan and head gasket, and fingers crossed.
