Engine Mechanical problem
2003 Chevy Tracker V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 189000 miles

I came back from a long trip and the low oil light went on. Stopped and had no oil reading on the dip stick. filled with 3 qts and continued after 15 miles same thing happened 1 mile from home. Refilled with 2 qts and got home same thing happened no oil. Is the engine blown?

You might've done some engine damage. But first you need to find out where the oil went. That's a big leak to go through it that fast. Also, you need to verify the oil pressure with a gauge.

Consuming oil that fast, it would have to be leaking from a pressure point. Check the oil pressure sending unit to see if it's leaking.
