Something don't add up here.
We're gonna have to see the 5 empty oil bottles to start with.

For those who counselled adding more oil and running for 10 minutes, you do recall he said his oil light came on, right? 10 minutes with insufficient lubrication = molten lump where the engine used to be.

Like everybody else I'm waiting for further info. I personally think it's demonic possession.

If it weren't for the oil light thing I'd swear the OP must have tried to read the dipstick in low light and simply didn't see the new, clear oil on the stick.

That's a lot of oil to not be visible any where.

Are you sure you put in 4 qts the first time? The 5th qt added (maybe actually 1st qt) could have really been the first qt could have been pumped into the oil filter and hanging out there. Do you have the old oil bottles and you have 5 of them?
