How do you know that all of the engine oil was gone. Are you sure that it was empty? I am sorry to hear that.

unless the engine locked up, it's not toast yet. I once had a 94L that I've driven around for 3000 miles before I realized that there is no oil in the engine.

the day before i looked at the oil dipstick and it was fine. i change the oil every 2500-3000 miles. the smoke was coming from under the hood. the temp was alittle below the halfway mark.
went to go look at it today. looked at the dipstick and there no trace of oil on it. poured 6 quarts in it to make it level out fine on the dipstick. i drove to shop my dad knows and left it there. had my friend follow me. car was still bucked every so often. drove it ten miles to the shop. the engine was makeing noise. sounded like tapping. tell u more later when i find out

Prayin' that the worse case scenario turns out to be a slightly noisy lifter/adjuster. Good luck dude, hope it works out.

Good luck with her. If she lost all the oil though it should still be loosing it. Check your oil level again and see if you're overfilled. That isn't good either!!!

Don't count on it. If it happened once it WILL happen again.

from my experiences compare to other cars, if the svx is not parked on level surfarce, the oil/tranny dipstick will give a quite not-very accurate reading.
