Default low oil- help!

Ive had my S for about 2 months now (used)- and its been some time since I last checked my oil level- I didnt realize that it would drink so much oil- and when I looked at it this week it was maybe a half (or more) quarts below the "low" mark on the dipstick (taking into account that the space from the "low" to the "high" mark is about 1 quart). The low oil pressure light never came on. I only drove it mayeb 5-6 times in the last month.

I just changed and refilled my oil yesterday- and it seems to be running quietlly and smoothly.

What are the chances any dammage occured, and if so, what would have been dammaged? How would I be able to tell?

Thanks for any input.

You should be ok. Just remember to check your oil regularly. On my daily driver I check it once a week.

ditto, you're engine is fine. Don't worry. Check the oil everytime you fill up the gas tank ~ 200-300 miles.

Good idea. My daily driver is a POS 87 Accord. If I had an S2k I'd follow what Vapor said..
