So I stopped to check it out...I now have a LOUD tapping sound...sounds like lifter clicking......
anyway...the kicker is the engine had NO oil whatsoever in it. I change my oil regularly...and..never.ever..noticed any oil leaking while parked..etc..
The totally empty oil case really shocked me....has anyone had this happen to them?
Don't get me wrong..I drive my car about 40 miles each weekday to/fro work....and I'm doing 70 or over mostly highway....but man...would this type of high RPM driving....DRAIN all of my oil OUT...?
Now I have oil in it...and the tappnig is noticable...I'm wondering what I need to do to get rid of the tapping and HOW MUCH IT IS GOING TO COST..? 
Thanks

you have carboned oil deposits in the lifters and this is causing the noise..... most likely,,,, my kid did this once...... add 4oz of marvel mystery oil to crank case ...... when noise disappears usually 100mi... change oil..... usually this could simply be installing oil filter with old filter gasket still on so with 2 gaskets it leaks out oil while running......do not add more than 4oz.. more is not better......
