i own a 1997 dodge neon it ran out of oil on me when i was on the high was. when the oil was gone it shut down with out hesitation. i checked the dip stick it read no oil so i put more oil in it and it started right up no problem. as of now it is at my mechanics garage. what i am trying to ask is "Is the car still usable?" there was no loud noises to indicate that something was damaged, blown, or frozen.
