$10k Oil Change Goes To Indiana’s Supreme Court
Have you ever had a car issue that left you feeling frustrated and confused? For one Indiana woman, a routine oil change turned into a two-year battle with a quick oil change place, culminating in a Supreme Court case. Tony Katz shares this wild story and explores the underlying fears and concerns that make it so relatable.

Despite no visible leaks, the engine needed a costly replacement, totaling $10,000 in repairs. This led to a lengthy legal battle, with the case now reaching the Indiana Supreme Court.
