Hello

 

I've got 2003 SE.

 

I've driven for 7 months and 4000 miles on the same oil.

Today I've checked and it's near the L mark.

How much oil should I add not to exceed H mark?

 

Thanks.

... 4000 miles ? isn't it the time to change the oil all together ? and you do so, why don't you go for synthetic oil (if you don't burn any) ?! ...Your engine will love it...

It's Aral Fully Synthetic 5w-30 Long Life oil.

 

I was thinking about changing the oil, just wanted to make it to 5000 mile.

You'll be fine to 5000. You got synthetic! (which i can;t afford..haha). As a rule i use, the line between L and H i add a quarter of a quart at a time. it usually ends up being a whole quart, but add a quarter at a time.

Yes the price is the reason I don't change it at 3,500 miles or 3 months as stated in premium maintenance.

It costs me about 120$ to change the oil.

My salary is 1600$ a month which is pretty good for my country but expensive to spend 120$ on oil change every 3 months.
