Some of you guys might know my problem...atleast the major one,
my engine ran out of oil and started making this noise,






ever since that day, i drove my car to my autotech class and its just been sitting there, and waiting on a new engine...



NOW, my dads 01 Audi A6TT is leaking oil and makes the same noise[ when its low/nearly empty on oil
we add 3-4 quarts and the noise stops...

(dont worry about that car its going to the shop soon)

my question is,


if i do another oil change, and maybe add some 'lucus' (or oil thickener?) will be car be normal again?
Or atleast safe to drive?

Compression tests are more about uniformity between all the cylinders. Different compression testers will rear differently. As far as the engine i would:
-Check the plugs when you pull them
-Check the oil cap like matt said
-If your taking the tranny drain the fluid and look for metal pieces.

Are you going to pull the engine yourself?Or will the yard do it?
