Option 3 will cost 30 hrs labour at $125/hr plus taxes & plus whatever it costs to remedy to fault.

Damn!

You need to get to the shop & see the evidence of this in the oil filter! The shop should show you this. Before you go call on the phone & tell them you can't afford to fix it & what you owe them so far for the bad diagnosis. Have the car towed to 1 of the other shops mentioned earlier!
