np, glad you got it figured out.
It's possible that they added enough oil for a quick oil change w/o
filter change. I suppose it could happen, but unlikely in most cases.
Heat from the cat converter would not affect oil levels.
Did you change out the PCV as pointed out by Curly and myself? If you
are still losing oil, there is a major problem (if you already replaced
the PCV). ... Is there smoke coming from the tailpipe?
Use the oil dipstick. It is the best evidence you'll ever get. Oil is
the elixir of engine life..
When you say the engine got too hot, do you mean that it overheated??
How about you take it to a reputable mechanic and report back here with
the results. ?

well right now it's still full accdg. to the dipstick, but I have not
change the PCV yet as Idling is on 1,000 rpm, should I still replace the
PCV????? Since there's no leaks anywhere that i see nor on the ground and
when I mentioned about the engine getting hot it was'nt overheating just
felt very hot...maybe the heat shield is due to wearing out...although the
bottom of the car is still intack (no rust)

Sounds like everything is in order. I misunderstood the phrasing in
your previous response.
You should still replace the PCV if you've never done so before. It
costs about $4.00 and takes a few minutes to do yourself.
