I'd replace the motor if you can find one. Depending on what is wrong with your current one you may be able to rebuild it for a good price if it's possible.

Another option would be to contact an attorney. Hopefully you have your receipt /repair order when you took your car into the shop. That way they can take them to court and sue them for neglegence, and get the money to repair or replace the engine.

I have a family friend whos an attorney so I'm going to have a word with him about the matter... But in the mean time i found a vq30dek for a reasonable price.. so i guess its time to roll up the sleeves and get to work! hopefully it isnt too cold over the next week

was it a well known chain oil change place that did it? if it was a chain shop from what im told they expect 4 or 5 engines to accidentally leave without oil per year and budget some money to replace engines
either way they owe you a new engine
either way they owe you a new engine

Those chain places have a reputation for f**king s**t up for sure. My brother briefly worked for one of them. He quit because of their poor business practices and the way the work is half arsed. If they didn't have your particular filter in stock, guess what? The old one stayed on. Not cool...
