Depends on the engine. for example a Ford 6.0 Powerstroke holds 12 quarts, and 3 low needs to be topped off, but will be fine. But most cars hold 4 to 5 quarts and either will not run because of a low-oil pressure safety switch, or if it does run will be destroyed in a short time, it will make a knocking and tapping sound
