When I was a claims adjuster working vehicle service contracts, I got a call one July from a GM service department that had towed in a Pontiac minivan. The engine was seized, and when they ran it up on a hoist and pulled the plug on the oil pan nothing came out.
I called the lady who owned the van and asked her when was the last time she checked the oil. She replied, "Well, I just bought the van in March. I didn't see any reason to have to check the oil yet".
