Hi Team,
"I've driven 1,600 miles since my last oil change two months ago. The dipstick shows that the oil level is just slightly above the low mark (checked hot, immediately after driving for 30minutes). The oil itself is clean not burned. I do have for sure some small oil leaks on the passenger side; car has 218,000 miles on it.
Is the current oil level acceptable? Is there anything that needs immediate attention?

- Should I continue monitoring the level and only refill if it drops below the 'L' mark?
- When refilling, how much oil should I add to stay just below the full level? And of course I should use the exact oil type that I used 2 months ago right? (Conventional Oil 5w30)
