Engine Oil Was Gone?? S80

Hi:
I happened to check my oil today, and found no oil on the
dip stick at all. I was so scared. Last oil change done 3 month ago,
and have not seen any oil leaking on the ground, the oil light indicator
is fine. Where has the oil gone?
BTW, it very smells when engine is running, dealer told me because my Electric Throttle Module was bad, it sent too munch gas out. And I don't see any burning
oil from the muffler.
Could anybody tell me what the problem it is?

Thanks a lot

Bing

    How much oil did you add?

    "Where has the oil gone?

    What? If it smells like rotten eggs, go to a different brand service station - too much sulphur in your gas. If the ETM was bad, you wouldn't be driving the car. You would be stuck on the side of the road. The ETM is another name for a throttle without a direct cable to the carburator. If the ETM gives it too much gas, then you go faster down the road!

    Dealers :(

    Who did the oil change ? Years ago my father had an oil change at the local shop for a 69 Dodge V8. He drove about 300 miles. I checked the oil and found none, zero, nada! I added 5 quarts to fill it. He drove 300 miles with no oil, no smoke, no leaks.

    By the way, check your oil more than every 3 months.
