Description of the problem	For the third time since owning my car, i was driving and the engine failed. Without any other previous warning lights or indicators coming on, while i was on the freeway, my car slowed, the engine light flashed, and then the car completely died. I was able to restart and pull to the side of the shoulder. Because this has happened before, i suspected the oil was running low. We refilled it, and the car did start, and now drives again without issue. I just had my car serviced two months prior, and they told me to fill my oil again at 39,000 miles or at the end of june, whichever came first. I was only at 37k miles and it is june 1. When this first happened, i was told the engine had a "protective feature" to turn off when the oil was low to make sure the engine wasn't damaged. Without an oil light indicating that it is low, how can dying without warning while driving be a protective feature? I'm lucky i didn't get hit by another car on the freeway, or cause a pileup.
