I'd be very surprised if you didn't seriously damage the thing if in fact you had only about a quart of oil in the thing. Of course, there is the possibility that damage is minimized if you weren't doing a lot of highway driving.

Good luck to you.

They told you were just over a 1/2 quart low out of 4? Don't think that would cause any damage - too late now anyway - run it and check the fluid every oil change. Did you have it checked because something wasn't right? Maybe they were just being sure they charged you for a full quart? Dunno for sure, I'm an A4 guy.

If you were only 7/10 of a quart low, I wouldn't worry oabout it. Top it up and go, it'll likely be OK.
