Default Oil ?

I was changing my oil on my b16 and I accidentaly kicked over my 4th qt. The oil level is sitting right below the fill line. Will I be good to go to work tomorrow then run to the delearship to get another qt of oil at that oil level??

if its right below it and as long as you can see oil on the dipstick you'll be fine. but I wouldnt recommend running it for a long time or revving it too high (depending on how low the level is). so if youre just gonna go get some tomorrow, youre good.

no prob. but for future reference, oil is oil is oil is oil. no need to worry about mixing oils (as long as they are somewhat similar in viscocity)

unless youre running high horsepower or you have some crazy setup it'll be fine. even so, you'd probably be fine anyways.
