Well first, it says that you have a 2002 WRX so it's not under warranty anyways. If I was you I would consider just trading it in, in the current condition. If not the amount of labor is going to up beyond ten hours. When all is said and done you're going to be spending around four to five thousand dollars.

I just cant believe this....
Why would you let anyone touch your car! The uncle scottys mixing oil your talking about is a transmission mixture.
Im not trying to be a dick man but you obviously dont know how to change your own oil so you had some dumbass mess with your shit. Learn how to do basic shit to your car so this shit doesnt happen again.
If you trade it in, there obviously going to start the car and tell its knocking, i doubt you will even get a grand. Start saving and buy a engine from mastro.

if you are interested in selling the car gimme a shout.
trust me, any technician that works @ mastro can tell the difference between transmission & engine oil.. its like comparing syrup to water (maybe a little exageration).
your going to pull the car in to mastro and tell them your problem(s)... they are going to have a licensed technician look at it and then they'll call you within an hour and it'll sound a little something like this,
"hello _______, this is _______ from Mastro Subaru. Well, we think we've figured out the reason your engine has locked up... it seems like whoever did your last oil change used transmission oil instead of the recommended engine oil."
"Well is this covered by my warranty?"
"no sir, Subaru cannot honor your warranty because the damage was caused by whoever did your last oil change. We can replace the engine if you would like Kano, but its going to have to come out of your pocket."

well every 3-5k depending on oil and driving style 
regardless, one oil change per year is horrible.
as for engine options, a complete ver 7 STi swap is plug and play with and 02-03 and you have about 8 wires to run to get AVCS working...aside from that, a usdm STi swap can work but AVCS won't unless you get a custom Hydra (the cost isn't too much more) to run the AVCS...or you can just toss in another none avcs turbo motor (2.0 or 2.5) and get a reflash done to correct your ecu for fuel and timing (only needed if going 2.5)
regardless you probably toasted your entire motor (heads too because of cam journals) and should be looking to do a complete swap/build.
