Oil Light Never Came On Dude
2004 Saturn ION 4 door. I think I may have made a big mistake and tears are about to form. I needed an oil change and I usually am good about getting them. This one time I've gone approximately 9,000 since my last oil change. Car has 229,000 miles on it. Noticed it seem to be ticking loud this morning which always use to indicate, you're low on oil. I'm a female and I haven't checked because 1) I figured at the most my oil has turned to syrup by now 2) My oil light hasn't come on so I should be good. Well my car wont crank. It will be towed tomorrow. I really don't want to be lied to by somebody saying I need a new engine. My car never ran hot.. I put 3 quarts of oil in it and it's sitting now. What are the possibilities? a) blown head casket b) blown engine? Please help
