If it's showing on the dipstick then I wouldn't drive it, but the question we need to know is how much is it using? Plus oil is cheap enough for a litre, easy to buy some more

i would get it topped up with some equivalent oil to what you are already using.. not worth the risk to drive anything low on oil.

Don't drive your car mate just in case. Not worth the risk to your engine. If desperate use similar oil not none.
Opps just been said
