Yes, good thinking, put a quart of oil up to the high mark in now, that's called a "make-up" quart, of the cheapest oil from walmart, which is Super-tech 0w-20 synthetic(all Odyssey oil is synthetic now). Or you could use a 5w-20, even, temporarily. Now you have some more additives in there by 25%, saving you engine. Correctly measure by shutting your car down, wait 90 sec, take oil measurement 2 or 3 times if hard to see on dipstick. Now you have time to plan your oil change. Go to a mechanic, an oil change center, a friend to help on oil change. To keep it simple keep buying super-tech if you like to save $5, or treat your car to: Mobil 1 Extended performance high mileage 0W-20 (good for 20k miles/one year, most run past 1 yr, but not real long), second choice is pennzoil ultra extended performance high mileage, if they make it. If the first owners changed oil properly, the bottom part of your engine is now able to go to 350K miles. Also, spend a little extra on a Mobil 1 Synthetic filter, which you can run for 20k miles. With the mobil oil/ mobil filter combo, it is established that you can go 15k miles, and over a year, because it has been tested by others. You can also use a Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter for $4 less, but all of these filters have been torn apart by others, and the Mobil 1 has the absolute best construction. I detest oil cos. the same as all of us, no longer own exxon mobil stock, so I am only sharing science/randomness/god's truth with you. Also, the oil filter is a little hard to change cause it's underneath, but on your next oil change say in 10 to 15k miles, you could buy yourself a little pump and pump it out the dipstick hole, it doesnt have a magnetic drain plug. Enjoy your car!
