How do you determine damage, if any, to an automobile engine with only an estimated 2 -3 quarts of oil in the crankcase? I forgot to check the oil level since my last oil change 4,800 miles ago. How do I check if any damage occured to the engine. It’s a subaru Imprezza 2.2 Liter 4 door hatchback.
It’s a 4 cylinder vehicle. The dipstick before I just changed the oil today showed only a drop or two of oil.
The check engine light did not come on. I may have a Subaru dealer have the engine checked out for my peace of mind. Thanks for all your great answers.

    you probably have gotton lucky this time, but you need to keep a better eye on your oil level between oil changes …. i hope that by going almost 5000 miles between changes, you are using either full synthetic or synthetic blended oil ….
