How bad it is to run an engine which is low on engine oil (not too low) but you make sure that temperature doesn't increase more than half the gauge? In other words, temperature is in range and engine is low on oil; will that ruin engine?
I am asking because my oil change mileage is yet to arrive; in 1000kms to be exact but the engine oil is already quarter below the full mark at dipstick. should i change engine oil now or is it ok to complete the 1000 more and change the oil then?
and there is no blow from engine but there is oil all over the engine cover which makes me think that seal of the dhakkan from where you put oil in engine is leaking so that is why oil is decreasing.
BTW car in question is mehran.
