oil light came on, then went off. Stopped to checked for for leaks...none. Drove later light came on again, before i could stop, started losing engine power and deccelarated. Car stopped, checked oil, extremely low. man near me had two quarts of Pensoil 5w-30, it reached just below safe zone. Tried to start, it started up loud rattling noise. shut it off. tried again, all lights on but would not turn over. PLEASE, PLEASE Help!!!

It sounds like you may have run your car very low on oil and hurt the engine, sorry to say.

Thanks for the advice. What do you think could cause the oil to leak? I heard of this year model having an interior oil seal leak. What do you think about that? I currenly have 96593 miles on my 300, I got an oil change around 92,000 5w-20 motor oil. Running it this long without an oil change, do you think that could have cause the problem? Let me know what you think.
