I was out working on my brakes
My neighbor comes home in his 13 year old BMW
The engine sounds horrible. As he runs inside, I yell to check the oil, then instead just decide to go over and check it myself.
After I pop the hood he comes out with a rag and we check it together. The dipstick is dry.
He has some valvoline5w-40, so i dump that in.
Dipstick still dry.
We dump in a quart of formula shell 5w-30.
Now level barely touches the dipstick.
We about a mile from a AP store, downhill, and he drives there.
He just pulled back in, engine nice and quiet again.
He just told me it took another 1.5 quarts to the to full line.
6000 since last oil change
A quick search says the vehicle has a 6.5 quart sump.
