Rest assured the 5.4 will take some serious abuse, running with minimal oil. :ylsmoke:
I was in a rush once and forgot to refill oil in the my wifes 2000 Expedition 5.4 with 120k on it at the time. The only oil was in the filter and a large oil cooler. Wife drove it for over a month without telling me the oil light was on. Until one day I was going to take it out and figure out what I forgot. She said it ran "rough" and seemed low on power.... We put another 30k on the odo before trading it in.
Just fix the leak/bent/punctured pan and I'm sure the engine will keep on ticking.
