hi i just purchased this 99 c70 and the oil light came on so i pullover and purchase a couple quarts of quarts of oil and check the oil dipstick and it was a little bit on the tip so i put in a a quart and a half and it seemed it was at a decent level so i drive off ,then a few miles later the oil light comes back on so i pull over and check the oil and the oil is at a good level so i go back into my car and try to start and it wouldnt turn on so i keep tryying to crank the car untiil it starts and when the car finally turns over after 3 tries the car drives like **** and the oil and engine lights turns on and wouldnt go past 60 making a weird noise and so i drive another half a mile home and im just stuck dont know whats wrong with my coupe

Was the noise a knocking noise?
If so the rod bearings are most likely trashed.
You lost oil pressure for some reason.

The motor might be damaged.
The oil pan o-rings are very common to go bad causing low oil pressure.
