So, a "couple of months ago" you ran your engine with zero oil pressure
(the light came on) for at best only a few seconds. You dumped in 3
quarts of oil, and then several months later decided to give it a check
(wow amazing - you must be a real maintenance freak). How many miles do
you drive in "a couple of months"?

You should change the oil and filter now with a quality oil of the
weight specified by Honda. Then record your odometer reading and check
the oil once a week. You need to know how many miles it takes to use a
half a quart, not how long.
