Thank you for your input. I ended up having it towed. I know some about cars but not enough. Got a call from the dealer today. They say I need to replace the whole engine!! They found that the oil pan had a big dent in it ( I knew that was there, hit a big pot hole), I guess it hit hard enought that it broke something metal off in the oil pump and it ground it into the oil. There are metal shavings all thru my engine. My husband changes the oil most of the time and we have not seen anything in the oil. We just changed it not long ago. Is this possible for that metal to be all thru the engine when I didn't see it when I change the oil? The damage, to the oil pan was over a year ago. I also just had it in to the dealer 3 weeks ago for 50k maint. and inspection.
