RE: Engine Damage!!!!!!!!!
Question.
Does the newer stangs not have an oil light that starts comming on as you get a quart low?
My old 96 likes to suck down that moble 1 but at least it lets me know when it wants more.
Also, 1 qt low is nothing. Don't worry about it. No damage at all.
I'd be concerned why its using so much oil though...

RE: Engine Damage!!!!!!!!!
I found out what the problem was. The mechanic did the oil change and put the wrong filter on and after he noticed, he changed it to the right one. In that time some oil came out and he forgot to top it off. The mechanic said it was no big deal because there was still enough oil in there as it did touch the dip stick, except it was just extremely low on the dipstick.

Not to mention that the "correct" oil filter needed to be filled with oil from the oil pan.
I would question any "mechanic" that sends a car out low on oil after a service. Period.

If oil was touching the dip stick, it more than likely had enough oil to be okay.
Do an oil change, then tell your mechanic "thanks" for forgetting to add oil & putting on the wrong oil filter.
A retard could do an oil change.
