Ok BITOG, just looking for outside perspectives to pass on to one of my friends...
Subject car: 2018 Accord Hybrid with ~30k miles
Situation: "Joe" took the car to the dealership where he purchased it from. He has done this from the time he bought it to be sure to maintain the warranty, even though he does not particularly like it. Yesterday he picked up his car from the standard service (oil change) and within roughly 0.75 miles, the oil pressure light came on, and he saw a message to not drive the car. He pulled over, and called the dealership service center. They advised him to drive it back. When he returned, they promptly ushered him into the waiting area and his car disappeared. The service manager came out, and said all was "ok" that they did fill it with oil, but it had a "double O-ring" so the oil was blocked from circulating through the engine (MAJOR BS). They had already drained the oil, and all was well.
Joe asked to see his car and the technician. He asked the tech if he drained the oil, and he said yes. Joe asked how much oil came out, and the tech said about 0.5 quarts...at which point, the way he described it was that the managers face was all sorts of messed up ;-) He asked to see the filter, and it looked fine from his description...but get this...they would not let him take the filter with him.
Long story short, he and the service manager documented the story in the vehicle history, and Joe left with a fresh oil change done properly, with the intention to return.
So BITOG...what would you do?
My advice was to ask for a NEW short block and settle for a lifetime power-train warranty. Realize this is a hybrid car, and he drove the first part of the trip with engine off, and the return trip was also engine off...that is why he did not see an oil light until over half a mile down the road. I'm guessing he has literally seconds of engine on time during this fiasco.
