Engine Locked Need Help

That plastic thing is the oil pickup. If it's broken then it needs to be replaced. While you're in there have the o-rings on the oil pickup tubes replaced. They always need it eventually and you might as well do it now.

 

Yeah maybe. That also doesn’t look like 11 gallons of oil. Was it already low on oil? Only reason I say that is a gallon of oil will look like the a major oil spill. But maybe I am missing the size and scope through a photo. And the desert drank it up.

 

You are asking the wrong question, the right one is why did the oil slick (lack of a better word) only seem to be 60 feet?

I had trucks which hit debris, and a couple put holes in the oil pan but they were 1/8 mile long with one that was two miles long. I know because I got the bill from the state of california for the clean up for the 1/8 mile long one and that one didn't lose all the oil but it was one big hole.

 

That’s what I was alluding too

 

That's a pretty rounded shoulder. Looks like a rollover possibility too.

 

Those arn’t hard packed asphalt shoulders. Those gravel shoulders will soak up a sumps worth of oil in no time.
My guess is that sticker post punctured oil pan and in the process broke oil pump pickup and a piece of it or something may have been either sucked up or found a lodging place in the cranks rotation somewhere. Maybe there is a rare instants were because this was a quick catastrophic loss of oil the engine protection shut down thingy needs a manual reset to allow fir up again.

 

You also got to figure too the temp out there. Here on our side its been pretty much in the 100’s with full sun since the hurricane blew thru Houston a few weeks back and when a normal operating engine shuts down that is already running 205 water and 220 oil temp. It spikes to 220 and 250 thereabouts. Ould have been just hot enough to make for some non oiled bearing weld action.
