All the oil ran out of my new 2007 CR-V !!

My gut hunch is you have no engine damage at all.. The reason I say that is you didn't take too long to deal with it, and if I remember right from your postings, you didn't drive too much with the light actually on. If the engine was so low as to really be a problem, you would almost certainly hear it. IE: noisy valves clacking, possible knocking, etc.. I don't think you noticed this, so I don't think it was ever totally out of oil. So I think most likely you didn't have any real damage, and with the warranty, you should be ok. If the engine did get messed up, it will already be sounding at least slightly different than it did before. If it still runs and sounds exactly the same as before, I wouldn't be too worried about it. MK

If the CR-V had run out of oil completely, OP would have noticed it. A few years back I had a Saab 9000 that the oil pump started to go. The sounds that came out of the engine before the pump kicked back on were unmistakable - metal grinding on metal. When I drained the oil after that, I couldn't believe how many metal shavings were in the oil - yikes! I got rid of that car - FAST.

I just had new front axles and four Pirelli 400's put on my 10 year old Civic Coupe.

They will have to pry my cold dead hands off the wheel before I sell it!

Which is a good thing, if you want to sell the car, with a history like this.

Chuck, wanted to throw in my .02 worth. I don't feel like you did any serious damage to your vehicle,(only time will tell) but there is one thing that might hurt you. If you ever sale the car, the the buyer does like I do, have the vin pulled up at the dealer the check for all repairs, and the potential buyer sees this, it could hurt your resale value. I had a truck few years back that had major engine work done under warranty, and when I decided the sale the truck 3 years later, the buyer checked the vin like I do and saw that, then backed out on the sale because of it.Good luck in your outcome.
