Matthew Hyatt  This “I ran the car out of oil almost completely and it overheated” could be indicative of some major engine damage. From main bearings, to piston/rod damage and camshaft/ lifter/valve damage. I suggest that you have a mechanic at least do an inspection since it is a bit too much to go over. There are just to many variables with this.
