Mr. Meyer,

I hope you don't mind me emailing you.  I am just so stessed over my 1985 
500 SEC.  I haven't had him but a few months and seems as though my oil 
disappeared.  As I was driving on the freeway last night, he just quit 
running.  No lights came on until I pulled over because It was as if I were 
just coasting.  When I pulled over he ran for a few seconds longer, then 
died.  I didn't know that these cars hold so much oil and so far have just 
put in two quarts but he still won't start.  I didn't smell anything hot, no 
lights came on.  Do you think I have ruined him?  If you have any input on 
this, please email me back.  Thank you.  Patricia James, Abilene, Texas
