So i was driving my 09 370z and i was about 5 minutes from home and all of a sudden i lost all engine power and the car stalled out. I tried to restart and it would crank but not turn over. I was checking a few things and came to realize my oil was below the L and at just the very tip of the dipstick. Car was towed to my house and now is sitting in my driveway. I have filled up the oil and tried to restart and it starts to turn over for 1 second before just cutting out again. Do our cars have a safety measure when low on oil or do you think possibly that my engine is f'd? I am really freaking out at the moment any input would help.

thanks
