Changed plugs now my engine is knocking
So I changed my plugs tonight and I took it for a spirited drive and now my engine is knocking. Limped it home, checked the oil and it was near empty. It knocks over 2k rpm. No codes are thrown, I'm going to throw some oil in it tomorrow and see what happens. Pretty sure it's broken though :/

Are there any signs of oil leaks in your engine bay?

Condition of the plugs were dry and burnt looking.

It matters to others reading posts on this site that if they haven't checked their oil on a regular basis perhaps they should start to do so before they end up like you with a ruined engine.
You should change the title of this thread to "Never checked my oil, car now knocks."
Changing the plugs has nothing to do with you ruining a perfectly good engine that now knocks.

Not questioning anyones mechanical ability but a loose spark plug can & will make a disturbing knocking/ticking/pinging sound that is similar to a death rattle. Did you happen to have any trouble with removing or installing any of the plugs, like cross threaded or anything? Good luck.
