Kudos to you for finding the problem while it was a small concern (low oil reading) before it became a big problem (seized motor).most big car failures happen because people overlook the little things.
My dad taught me a long time ago to look into small problems before they become big ones. I think that's probably the reason I've been able to keep this car on the road all these miles and hopefully many more. Even though my dad is gone now, he lived long enough to see me get over 500K miles out of this car, without him teaching me about cars and how to care for them when I was young it would have probably lasted like the average car on the road.
