My 2008 infinity g37 seized

So i did push the car a lil before i went home. A Squeaking noise started. And the engine stopped i try starting again the noise was still there vrey loud like outside of the engine 2 metals rubs to make thar squeAking noise. I got it home my father pull me with his car. Noi i found out the noise was from one of the berings so i cut out the belt so i make sure there is no force on the engine. I try start the engine again and i would not spin. Maybe 2 rotation and thats it. Batery started dying. So i put it to charge again 2 turns it seamsike its it's really hard to spin the engine. Oil was a little bit low meaning i had to put 2 quartz i was thinking i was from the oil and seized it. But it had some oil in it for sure. It is possible the engine seized so easy.? I mean i have 90k miles never had any issues i try push start it because its manual. Still didnt get it to start. Yes the oil was low but not at 0

I have bad news for you...I suspect your engine is seized due to lack of lubrication.

The engine's oil capacity is just over 5 quarts and you added 2 quarts. This means that at best there was 3 quarts of oil in the oil pan.
BUT when you start the engine, the oil level drops as it is pumped up to the cams and crank and it takes time to drip back down to the oil pan.

Now, with a VERY low oil level and rapid acceleration, the oil in the pan can move away from the oil pump pickup resulting in 0 or very little oil pressure.

It is possible the engine seized so easy.?
Yes it is. All engines need oil or they will have a VERY short life.
