WHAT recourse do I have

For what?

Nothing has happened yet.

Get the oil replaced and start driving the car. You'll know pretty quick if there was any damage to the engine.

As for the oil on the garage floor, better clean that up fast before it soaks in and leaves a stain. There is stuff you can buy at the auto parts store that looks like kitty litter. That'll soak up the oil and then there is garage floor cleaner for any stain that's left.

A modern car in otherwise good shape is not going to suffer any damage from 60 miles with 3 qts missing.

Not necessarily true. Some cars have less than 4 quarts of oil when filled to max capacity.

And a modern car in otherwise good shape with any oil in it at all is likely going to not have any damage from a 60-mile drive. I don't think it will blow much more than 1/2 of the total oil through the oil spout.

To the OP, did the oil light not come on or did your wife just miss it?
