My oil is extremely low if I put oil in it will it go back to normal
with the engine shut off, check the fan belt is still on the alternator , the alternator just may have failed , this car has the limp home mode that cuts in when a problem arises , that's why the loss of power no doubt, I Don't know if the charging system failing would throw it in to limp mode ,cutting power way down , you want some points of interest,? Google 2003 Nissan limp mode , this may be just the alternator needing replaced
on the oil ,you may have saved the engine just in time if it still turns, and not locked up yet, but very close to all gone!
Well you were right about the alternator! That was it I changed it and everything went back to normal! Thanks so much!
