Have a mechanic check this for a bearing problem or maybe a loose torque converter. four quarts of oil to add is way too much to put in without an oil change and may have damaged the bearings.

Nope don't think so from your first description it needs a motor due to having to add 4 quarts of oil so you ran the engine dry of oil, and it wore the bearings out
