IF you were seriously that low, the engine would shut off anyhow. Most diesels use the oil pressure to fire the injectors. I had a nasty oil seal blowout on my old dually and limped it home(ish) while it was spraying oil from the back of the HPOP. Made it 2 blocks from the shop before it shut off, engine will shut down long before major damage occurs.

Well I added 4 quarts and its still not registering on the dipstick. Fucking mercedes engine doesnt read oil on the dipstick till an hour after it settles. Its going to be a 5 hour process figuring out how much I need to add tomorrow.

And Im going to have to run thicker oil since I cant wait 2 weeks for my 5-30 to come in the mail. Fuck

BTW, did a little mpg test for the Vette. With heavily mixed freeway, street and a BIG chunk of romping through the mountains and WOT blasts I averaged 20mpg.

Thats fantastic. I can do 18 all freeway, but if I put my foot into it it's single digits.

Well, bigger engine, blower and carb, 18mpg fwy, ain't bad. You must be making 150whp more than I am.
