- Fill up

Those cars don't hold a lot of oil (4-4.5 quarts) so it's not going to take that long for all the oil to shoot out, and obviously there is a problem with the drain plug that needs to be looked at. You can probably take it to a quick lube and have them look at it for you. I used to work at one and we would always help people out if they came in and were being nice about us giving them a little bit of help
