Will try to help

You know guy, you could help yourself a bit by being a little more Forum friendly. Like at least telling us what the heck kind of car you are complaining about. We assume that it is a Benz, but we don't know, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW! I know in some cases it doesn't make much difference, but we are kind of a Club. Easy to join, good information is often available, but why not tell us in your signature, WHAT KIND OF A BENZ IS IT? IS THAT TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND!.
Now to the problem. So you ran it out of oil. You added three "bottles" Don't they sell it in quarts. They most certainly used to. Again, you get better results when we get the right POOP! AGAIN, THAT IS POOP!
Back to the problem. Did the three bottles bring the crankcase oil level to the approximate level? That would be helpful to know. If you actually ran the vehicle "totally" out of oil, that engine is probably toast and will not start. Now if you will fill in some of the details, as to just what happened to this magnificient piece of automotive manufactory, we will try our best to give you satisfactory answers.
