What can I do if wrong car oil was used by ship
Ten days after an oil change my
car shuts down while driving early
morning. I have it looked at later
the and day, and was informed that
the shop used the wrong oil in my
car. My engine now needs to be
replaced, and the shop is denying
responsibility. What are my
options?

You can sue the shop for negligence. Negligence is the failure to exercise due care (that degree of care that a reasonable oil change shop would have exercised under the same or similar circumstances to prevent foreseeable harm).
Your damages ( monetary compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit) would be the cost of a replacement engine.
