I drove from cape cod basically back to boston with about 1 cup of oil in the pan a month ago. I didnt know this at the time, I just felt the car really not wanting to run. When I got home, I took a look and the dipstick was dry. I went to go drain the oil and almost nothing came out. Apparently, the synthetic oil just goes woop right past rings and out the tailpipe. Filled it back up and no problems since. So at idle compared to this, you shouldnt have a seizeup or ground bearings. Probably, the oilpump driveshaft came loose and is getting into the machinery
