Third; not a single check engine light letting me know low oil pressure/low oil/etc.
They did replace the motor though once approval came through.

Thanks for the clarification. The machine was indeed somehow manufactured incorrectly. I couldn't see any way you would have let the engine get so low on oil it would starve a bearing.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
