Check engine light-oil lose--help!!!!
Heres the deal, I was driving home tonight and all of a sudden the check engine light comes on. I drove the car a couple more minutes until I got home and than I popped the hood. My first instinct was to check the oil level. To tell you the truth when the light came on i was a little worried but I just figured it was nothing. Well when I checked the oil, there was none on the stick. I checked for leaks all over and there was none. I even looked where I park my car every night and there was none there either. I added oil, disconnected the battery and then reconnected it and started it up. The check engine light went off, but now I am left with the problem that i did not have enough oil. I changed the oil myself about 1400 miles ago and added 4 quarts. I am so confused, I am beginning to hate my cl. Can some one please help me.!!!!!

I put some oil in and the car has been fine ever since!

If I remember right, the the are between the 2 dots almost represents a quart. So if there was none on the stick then you might be at least a quart low. And I also beleive that our cars take 4.5 quarts. I might be totally off, but if you only added 4 quarts then you would read low on the stick. Hope this helps in any way.
