Blow Up

So I started to hear an engine knock about a month ago. I only have 65,000 on my 2.2. I stopped driving it and drove my Jeep knowing that i needed it checked out. So I am driving it to my uncles shop and on the way my engine blew a hole out of the bottom. I am guessing I threw a rod. This is the thing. It's a lease and i am over miles and out of my warranty. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or is anyone selling their 2.2 engine? I changed my oil regularly and i used royal purple. I just don't know how this happened. I've replaced the trans last year too. The 2nd gear synchronizer went on me. Has this ever happened to anyone here?

I thought all leases came with the extended warranty? At a minimum you have the 100K powertrain warranty.

Also I hope you have all your records and that your oil condition was alright at the time.

Is Royal Purple even an approved oil? I'm not so sure it is...

not necessarily. if anyone leased it before him it could have been them and he just happened to be the unlucky one at the time of engine pooping. not defending him but just saying
