Answer 2

that noise you heard was the engine crying for oil, metal or metal rubbing aint good, you may have done perm damage

Answer 3

You have been not taking care of your car and the angels are watching you. There must have been a little oil in the engine or the oil light would have come on. Running an engine with insufficient oil will cause damage that will not heal and since your engine struggled before it got refilled, the damage is done. It may burn oil from now on. Do not gamble with the antifreeze either. Fill it if it says fill it. An overheated engine can be damaged too, and expensive to fix.

Oil not only lubricates the engine, but helps take some of the heat off. Antifreeze keeps the engine cooled to the operating range. An overheated and poorly lubricated engine can self-destruct.

The noise is gone now because you're lucky. Maybe you prayed and God answered your prayer.

Answer 4

That engine only holds 5 so the damage is done in time I hope it doesn't give you issues>

Best change the filter have them dump it out & look for metalic in the oil if none you might of lucked out>Best find out where the oil went???

Answer 5

yeah, you still got a little time. I wouldn't go more than a couple of days though.
