Hi, I have a 2019 Honda Civic coupe with the 2.0L engine. I usually change my own oil and keep on top of it. I had no time to change my own oil last oil change so I took it to Speedy for an oil change and I drove around normally after the change for about 5kmiles. When I checked it I noticed that it was low, so I drained it out and speedy had only put in 3.5 quarts, which is about what the 1.5L engine uses...this 2.0L uses 5.8 quarts. Should I be worried that I incurred some damage?
Thank you.

Did the oil light come on at any time? Any bad noises? Any metal filings in the oil when you drained it? That's a long time to run with the oil that low. However since it has a nearly six quart capacity it might be OK. Depending on the pan shape and oil pump pickup some engines can tolerate low oil more than others.

how low?

@gew I didn’t ask you. I’m asking the OP what the dipstick showed when he checked it.
