I work in Dublin BJ, so if you need me to run to the dealership or anything let me know. Also, if you do not have a car and want to ride with me on Rte 26 your more than welcome.
Appreciate the offer, but I have a graduation party to attend. Thanks!

How did you let your car get 3 quarts low?

I love this car and I've cared for it, scheduled oil changes and maintenance at the dealerships, it's brought alot of joy, but what happened with the oil was unintentially. For the whole time I've own this car, I have never experienced it burning any oil. If I was aware I would have done something and it's frusterating to find out that I'm in this situation.

I've checked the oil after the noise started, and the dip stick, funny as it is showed that it had oil...or maybe I didn't let it cool down enough, but either way my next destination was the dealership. Where they say it is low oil.

Throughout the whole time, no oil light or check engine came on.

I've been checking the oil on the S2000 regularly since I've owned it in worry that it may burn oil like my other cars and I have never experienced any burning oil on the S2000 for as long as I've own this car. I didn't know it could be this serious and so quick / surprising if it was low on oil. I had faith in the car being that it was Honda's flagship and it would hold up, from my experiences with other hondas Integra GSR, Civic, Accord all of which I've owned and cared for and lasted over 120,000 miles and I've done my own oil changes on them and they burned oil but still are ok.

Now my S2000 is damaged and throughout ownership of this car I have always taken it into a dealership for scheduled maintenance.

If it were low, it would have been helpful if I would be thrown a flag on the dash with a lite check engine light or oil low.

I'll update once I here back from the service manager to find out if there is anything that can be done to help. Cross my fingers.

Let this be a lesson learned, a sacrifice that I've taken for the team haha
I'm in a la la land zoned out state right now. Don't know what to feel until I hear the results and see numbers. I'm in this emotional state because I have been prepared to repair things on this car should they break knowing if I abused the clutch or differential I'd honest with myself and will pay for it. I had plans of taking this car to the track...
As I've done in other situations, I'll try to turn this into a positive with a lesson learned, although still shaking my head , I warn others here to check their oil levels today

Yes. Oil change, valve adjustment, clutch and brake flush.
