Car trouble in Pittsburgh

In Pittsburgh. Check engine light came on in the Subaru at 8:55 pm (grr!), pulled over and started checking around and found a dry dipstick! The Little Red Wagon does burn some oil, but I topped it off less than a week ago, this is not typical.

I put in just over a quart of oil, but the light is still on. Hopefully I'll just need to have the trouble code cleared, but we'll see.

Note that this wasn't the oil pressure indicator that came on. Hmm.

Ah, the joys of 14 year old cars.

Update: up and running again. Trouble code is about the catalytic converter getting old. Nothing super extra scary in the end, but I guess I'm going to have to get back in the habit of checking the oil each morning.
