Was the engine cool when you checked the oil - it sometimes takes 10 minutes for the oil level to stabalise after a hot run.
Thanks for the reply. I didn't check the coolant for level or contamination, I will when I get home tonight. Yes, I checked the oil the next day. Both the dash oil level gauge and the manual stick barely indicate a reading. Somehow I misplaced ~9 quarts of oil in 170 miles (85 each way). I believe my nest step will be to drain the pan and see how much is there. Assuming the coolant is OK and the oil drain produces a couple of quarts, I suspect I have a hosed RMS.
