Hi there.
i have a my98 wrx
the other night whilst driving home from work, my engine started to sound really rough, like metal on metal kind of rubbing sound, so the next day i checked the oil, and there wasnt a drop on the dipstick
, so i got some new oil and put in 1.5 litres, then checked it again, and it was on MAX
.
it still sounds a bit clangy, but then again it could be me being paranoid, as my girlfriend says it sounds normal.
does this mean i did have oil in it but not enough to register on the dipstick?
by letting the oil get that low have i damaged the internals?
now im too scared to put my foot down just incase the engine falls apart.
have i got any thing to worry about?
can a garage check that everything is fine inside?
cheers
a worried dazzer.

Your engine was still 3 Litres full and the oil take-up should be below that level? If it sounds ok then just carry on driving it m8. Taking a good engine apart can do more harm than good.
