King ranch
06 Kin ranch 5.4L.
So I was driving home and all of a sudden my truck cut off. I managed to pull to the side of the road and tried starting the truck back up. It started up but once I put it in drive and pressed the gas it cut off. Tried the same thing again and got the same results. After sitting for about 10mins I just turned the key over to notice if any lights were on. I noticed that the old pressure was reading low. I walked to dollar general and purchased some oil. I put 3quarts in and still reads low oil pressure and won’t start. Any ideas. I don’t know if it’s fuel related or oil related.

It might be the VCT system or else something broke because the lack of oil. 3 quarts is a considerable amount of oil, especially for how that particular engine relies on proper oil levels.
