Problem w\ My Civic
I was getting on the Highway yesterday, and all of the sudden the car studdered at a the high end of 3rd Gear. All the sudden the Oil Light came on and so did the Check Engine Light. So I quickly exited the Highway and went right into a Gas Station. I put Oil into the Car and it took 3 Quarts. Alittle Backround, it's had a worn piston ring since I got it and it normally burns ~ 1 Quart every 500 Miles. Well, It obviously burns more than that now 
So the car still ran fine, drove us about 40 miles back home. The only problem is that there's a piece of metal clanking around in the Head.
I've got some Ideas on the Problems...Input would be awesome !

Re: Problem w\ My Civic (Suprdave)
the oil light came on and you drove all the way to the gas station? if the oil light comes on stop immediately like right there in the middle of the road! not having enough oil for just a few seconds can permantly damage your motor
