^^ doesn't the SC have a yellow oil light that warns you if it's a like 1.5-2 qts low, should still be relatively safe if this was filled up immediately and not throw a rod.

it wasn't a SC. anything lower than full capacity is not a good idea, light or not, there are alot of factors to consider like oil pressure. I've seen quite a few vids on youtube with SC's knocking some people just overlook it until its too late. in the event that your oil level sensor or light doesnt work. it's only a warning. but regardless a leak is a leak and should be fixed in the first place to avoid this anyway.

what you can do is fill it to proper level and "prime" the engine a bit before you actually start it. not too much just enough to get the fluids going for that piece of mind but still need to fix the leak. you dont want oil to seep into a connector or something and cause even more problems.
