My question is I got my car about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks ago and when I check the oil dip stick, the amount of oil is a tiny bit below the middle of the two dots. I hear a lot about these h22s burning oil...so If I add more oil, what kind of oil should I put when I don't even know whats in it right now? I just want to add a little cuz someone from here (HT) told me to fill it up to the 2nd dot. If its non synthetic would it be safe just to add a tiny bit of whatever oil I choose(Royal Purple I prefer) cuz IM not getting my oil changed til next week or so...or should I just wait (I know my question is stupid), but if I do wait maybe its unsafe cuz my oil level is getting on low side?

btw it has about 62k miles

 

I would recomend that you just keep a close eye on the level and not worry about it till you do the oil change.

But if you are that worried do an oil change now.

Good Luck

 

ok seriously... if you don't know what kind of oil they put in there to begin with then you should be bent over with no vasoline. if your oil is going to be changed next week then just put some 10-w30 in there and call it a day. no need to be so picky when you're going to change the oil soon.

 

if you're that worried - just change it now - then you'll know whats in there for sure - why wait a week?

 

i just add in mine..i add a quart about every 1500 miles.

 

you have enough oil, don't sweat it.

I would think you would be able to go for another couple weeks without any problems. Anyways if your low on oil, the oil light on your dash will light up.

I dunno about that, people say that once the oil light turns on its too late and most likely you'll **** up something.

 

Yea dont do this, these a reason that oil light is called an"idiot light".

Go ride a bicycle, you suck at cars

 

and you suck dick

 

Also I wasn't asking about the oil lighting up...main question was how bad would it be to add a lil bit of royal purle to the car, a car I just got so IM not sure what kind oil is in it right now!

 

Mixing two brands of oil isn't going to **** up your engine dumbass...

 

there is no reason why you can't just top it up.

the people on here should realise that we all had to start somewhere and we were all newbs hondas at one point.

 

OK, even if its non synthetic mixed with a lil synthetic? Who are you to call other people you truly don't know a dumbass..that is why IM here at HT to ask, just to be sure. Im suprised your at 100% status, and don't mention the dick suckin part cuz you started it all.

your car has 4.5 or so quarts of oil. there is one quart difference between the two dots. you are low half a quart, top it off and forget about it. then change your oil when you planned.

So do we. You got your answers, now quit whining and follow them. If you're that worried about it - don't add any and just change your oil.

yes, mixing two kinds of oil CAN **** your engine up, if it was non-synthetic, and your switching to synthetic- (since your just adding a little bit it should be fine).

If I were you I'd find some sythetic blend, top off the oil and then from now on I'd use a synthetic blend, not a full syn.

BTW when the oil light comes on that means that there is air that is getting pushed through your oil pump... doesn't sound too healthy to me

Oh, and I'm a LUBE TECH, so respect my authorit-a-y (cartmen)
