I think she should get nothing. You are reposnsible for checking your oil EVERYTIME you fill up your vehicle. It even usually says so on the gas cap. It definately says so in the owners manual, the maintenance schedule, and the fine print of the warranty.
Cars burn and leak oil. That's why you check the oil levels. If you don't, you are SOL. If you don't know that you should occasionally check your oil, you shouldn't be driving.
I'm getting kind of angry right now, because your friend's stupidity, self-righteousness, and unrealistic expectations (the latter two seen 'enabled' by yourself) WILL result in other reasonable and responsible people who take care of their things having to pay more for products.
Unexceptable.
Car value reductions, unability to pay off the car note....WHO CARES. It should ONLY BE your friends problem.
She deserves NOTHING.
A new car is out of the question, but being offered a new motor, one should be consider lucky. Take the new motor, without complaint and run.
