I didn't realize how much oil had come out. It obsorbed into the ground. I only figured it was ok before I measured the oil level and drained the liter I added plus the extra .5 or so liter that was in the motor while it ran before I added the liter. I'm not going to ponder much more about this. I can only learn and move on. I don't understand what happens to a motor when it is run with hardly no oil. I was worried that I did unnoticable damage only to show later down the road.

Mine comes on at a quart and a half low. It's a quart low before it even gets into the hashed area.
