We were traveling on the interstate after about a 7 hour drive and the low oil pressure warning display was flickering on and off but never stayed on consistently. i pulled over and there was no oil in the engine, i mean it was bone dry. i'm truly surprised the car was still operating. when oil was put in, it poured, and i mean poured, right back out. we had to be towed because the car could not be driven. it was determined that the engine oil cooler line was leaking.
