If the CR-V had run out of oil completely, OP would have noticed it. A
few years back I had a Saab 9000 that the oil pump started to go. The
sounds that came out of the engine before the pump kicked back on were
unmistakable - metal grinding on metal. When I drained the oil after
that, I couldn't believe how many metal shavings were in the oil -
yikes! I got rid of that car - FAST.

I just had new front axles and four Pirelli 400's put on my 10 year old
Civic Coupe.
They will have to pry my cold dead hands off the wheel before I sell it!

Which is a good thing, if you want to sell the car, with a history

Chuck, wanted to throw in my .02 worth. I don't feel like you did any
serious damage to your vehicle,(only time will tell) but there is one
thing that might hurt you. If you ever sale the car, the the buyer does
like I do, have the vin pulled up at the dealer the check for all
repairs, and the potential buyer sees this, it could hurt your resale
value. I had a truck few years back that had major engine work done
under warranty, and when I decided the sale the truck 3 years later, the
buyer checked the vin like I do and saw that, then backed out on the
sale because of it.Good luck in your outcome.
