Pulled into my parking lot today, and right as I do *CLUNK* goeas my car and it dies! I roll right into my parking spot and check things out. I see oil is everywhere (my oil gauge doesnt work) so I let it cool off, and SOB my oil filter was holding on by 1 thread. There was no oil in it at all. I put 4 qt.'s in it, hoping it would just fix its self, but all it did was crank. My water light came on, and my check engine light. Is my engine toast? Please I hope to god no. I just put it in a month ago.
 
If it drove without oil long enough to go "clunk" and die, then you're looking at a rebuild, sorry :(
 
Most likely it siezed up from lack of oil (obviously LOL) not to sure why water light went on though unless it has something to do with the water pump bearings going too. sorry man :dsm:
