ok, guys, per my clackin post on SF that i put up when SM was down, i had some pretty loud clacking. my dipstick was broken, but it turned out that the oil was low... not empty, but low. i put 4 qts in to get home from my dad's house, and it's fine now... tomorrow i'm taking it to get changed, and put 15/50 synthetic in. it seems to be running fine now, with no noise, but i think it may still be a little low.
my pressure is still hanging at around 30, i know that's a little low?
i just want to know what the possibility is of problems because of the 5 or so highway miles i drove with the clacking. did i have a lucky escape? any input would be appreciated! i feel like an idiot, but my dipstick had the end broken off, i just ordered a new one.
i know the 7m eating oil is pretty typical, how much do you guys find you have to add weekly/monthly, etc.
thanks so much, i know this is a lot of information.
