if you mean the oil level didn't register on the dipstick then it's probably a good indication that you burnt the motor up. If the noise is on the top it may be a lifter getting loud from low oil. itmight go away. if your oil light is on or pressurevery low like under 10psi then shut it off and take itto apro.
