Excellent point, Charley.
BTW, my stepdaughter has proven that, for a car that you're only going to
put 10 or 15 thousand miles on, it seldom requires oil filled to the full
mark and actual oil changes are unnecessary. It has been empirically proven
that 2 quarts of oil in the sump, and less for indeterminant periods, will
not cause oil-related catastrophic failure. Her research has proven that the
"oil" idiot light is sufficent notification to add 2 or (during economic
abundance) 3 quarts of oil and will be sufficient for getting you around
town with no obvious ill effects.
Happy motoring.
