?? Hmmm..Ya prolly meant add "oil" right? Add only as much engine oil to bring it up to the level marked "full".

Are you planning to change the oil? If so then a couple of miles won't hurt; BUT if not then knowing it is low, maybe 1 qt, then add it now. Note where it brings the oil level to and then keep track. A tank of gas , check your oil. That way you know how much you are using per fill-up.
