Do you guys only add oil when I-drive tells you to (when it's at the minimum level)? My I drive shows 2 boxes above the minimum line, just wondering if I should add some?

I have 2500 miles remaining until the next oil service.

Thanks

Can't hurt if add a quart or two


Just make sure you add the proper kind - do a search and you'll find, if you're not sure which kind you need.

No need to with only 2500 miles to go,but if you do top-up ,one litre is enough (one US quart).
