Default Adding oil without draining.

Ok here is the deal. I have a high mileage (157k) 1998 Honda Prelude. I did a drain and fill oil change 1 month ago. And now it's already at the minimum dot stage.

The question is, can I just add a few quarts into there without draining the old oil out? I mean the whole point of draining it out is because its dirty, but its not because I just changed it 1 month ago and it just got all burned.

Basically my H22 burned all the oil, so can I add a few quart into it w/o draining old oil out? Will it harm engine in anyway? Thx.

add a bottle and turn on ur car for a minute or so and let the oil run through and then turn it off and check it again. make sure ur car is on flat ground when u test it. it dosent help to test it when ur car is on a friggin hill cause it'll screw up the results.
