There is no low oil shutoff short of destroying the engine. Your compression numbers are all very low, they should be in the neighborhood of 200 PSI.

I guess the moral of the story is to not drive when the car is low on oil and coolant.

Doood, if you were mechanically inclined you wouldn't have been driving around with low oil and coolant.

The shut off is probably unrelated to the low oil and coolant unless you seized the motor. Did you check the timing belt?

My recommendation? Time to steal a bicycle.
