    Our cars burn a lot of oil, add it before you leave. I actually always keep a spare quart in my trunk just in case.

    go to autozone/kragen, etc pick up some 5w40 synthetic oil and add at least 1 quart. I would suggest buying 2 quarts and having one in the trunk encase of anything.

    Most of the VW502 approved oils are 5W40 (e.g., Castrol Syntec). However, as noted above, Mobil 1 0W40 is also approved.
