I'd say not to much to worry about. The car holds 10-11 quarts.

Jefe, I would say you have big problems- first of all you're
going to need to call Viper Bob. Then You may need to turbo
charge since the oil mishap. Luckily if you upgrade your
supsension much of the damage can be minimized. Getting
new Wheels will help also. Gt3 seat swill help just about help
you fully recover and maybe an RS front splitter will cap the deal.
Other than that I dont think there is anything else.

No problem. Different grades of M1 can be mixed w/o any harm. In fact, dino oil can be mixed in as well. Good to know if you're down on oil w/o a M1 source.

More on M1 here.

Thanks for putting my mind at ease, whereas I did obtain a slight panic upon my reading OG begining thread... gulp.
As with everything regarding quickness... cash+time=speed I have plenty of one besides speed!
