Botched oil change. I had an oil change yesterday on my way home car was very loud and shaking it stalled out so I called place I had oil change done and they said bring car back we noticed oil dripping out when you left duh, Instead of me driving back and chance breaking down I asked manager to come to me and he did , well turns out most of the oil leaked out he had to put in almost 5 quarts now my exhaust sounds like it’s getting loud could this be from oil change or lack of or just general wear and tear? ---

Your engine is likely destroyed. Having to add 5 quarts means your engine ran without any oil in in for some time and destroyed it. The oil change place - let me guess - Jiffy Lube or similar quick change place? - left the drain plug out or didn’t replace the filter or left two filter gaskets in place. The oil change place OWES you a new engine. If they even argue with you AT ALL, hire a lawyer that specializes in such claims and go after them like a honey badger on a snack. Good Luck
