Hey guys so I made the dumb mistake of not checking my oil. On my way home today about 3 minutes from my house the oil light flickered on. I got home and checked the dipstick to see it was just below the min line. Of course I filled it. So I'm just trying to clear my mind and was wondering if I did any permanent damage ? Didn't hear any weird noises or anything on the way home, though I may have smelt buring oil. Car is a 86 300E.
The die has been cast.
Likely no damage, but nothing can be done now.
Keep it at the correct level, and just pay attention for noises.
But as gator said, likely fine.
The oil light is the low oil level warning. (Not oil pressure warning)
So if you're oil pressure guage didn't zero out at any point then you are likely totally AOK.
