Stupid oil question!

[Mendizmo]

I'm due an oil change but can't afford to order it for another 12 days. I'm running quite low at the moment & am just wondering if it's worth going to Halfrauds & buying a litre to put in as a top up until I get the good stuff. Or will it be ok to leave as it is? It's between the notches on the dipstick but a fraction lower.

I didn't really think this was worth putting a thread up for but it's been worrying me!

Cheers.

If you run out of milk what do you do?

buy some more.

Stick 1litre of 5w 40 in asap

Its between the notches, don't worry a f**k until it goes below the minimum. Your going to change it in the mater of days and by the sounds of it, the money from that 1 litre of oil could be better spent somewhere else.

As above, as long as it's above min don't worry about it!

Thanks for the advice guys. Just dipped it & it's pretty much on the bottom notch so might just chuck a litre in to be safe.

Excuse double post, can't get it to do one!

Don't just chuck a litre in, it'll probably end up being over filled. Over full, is probably just as bad as under! To be fair, I would leave it. It looks about 1/4 above the min mark to me.

Yep, as long as it's on the dipstick at all it'll be alright.

Thanks again guys. I'll be ordering from here come pay day!
