How much oil to 'top off'
I did a search, couldnt find anything....
Im going on a small trip today, about 3 hours, and i just realized last night my oil is on the low side....the stick reads about 1/8 the way between minimum level and full....I plan on getting oil changed when i return, but i dont have time before this drive....whats a safe amount to put in to top it off ?

drive it the way it is,
after the oil gets hot it will expand as much as 1/3 QT
