So before all of that, did you notice unusually high oil temps as well prior to refilling oil?

I'm thinking something decided to give up, and it's probably just bad luck

Can't wait to see them dissect the motor, though. If the block is still good you can probably salvage it.
Before the oil addition and discovering the shortage, there was the knocking and high oil temps. After 5 quarts of oil, there was still knocking, but I did not run the car long enough to examine anything because everyone on here was telling me to keep it off and have it towed, which I did. I'm willing to bet it would've ran lower though because there was actually oil in it. I'm wearing my lucky items just to make sure I'm going to be in luck when it comes to warranty.
