But no, they approved it and replaced it. It's been in the shop since 9/5.. still haven't seen the car. I think when I filed for lemon law, they are just fixing absolutely everything now. Since they put the motor in, they have replaced something with crossbolts (holds the motor or something), wheel bearings, brake pads, exhaust system, C02 sensor and a bunch of other stuff. I think once I filed, they probably had a higher-up probably call and say "Fix everything since it's going to be a lemon" LOL.
I didn't post about it, since I just wanted to move on to the next car. It also slipped my mind haha!

I know this post is a bit stale... but, what? Did you actually let the engine get so low on oil that it had oil starvation?
