So my wife took a trip and didn't check oil-got home and I had to add 3 quarts to bring to full-not sure how long it was down car runs and sounds fine-chances this did any permanent damage? Any thing I should do now?
Thanks for any advice!

 

It'll be fine, don't lose sleep over it!

Needless to say, don't let it happen again.

 

That's how my woes started. I got home from a road trip and the oil light flickered on and off. I checked the oil level and was astonished to find it was down 3 quarts.

You may be suffering from a breather problem with the PCV valve? It's worth checking out.
