I’m a new driver. I have 2013 Buick Verano. Three weeks ago I saw that the oil level in my car was almost zero even though it had only been 1.5 months since I last changed oil. I topped it up with one qt of full synthetic oil. Today I see that oil level is again zero. Am I doing something wrong? Can I just keep filling the oil every month until next oil change.

    When you say “zero” does that mean the low or add line on the dipstick? And it takes 1 quart to raise the level to full? There’s still 4 quarts in the engine when the level is on the add line - not ideal, but enough to prevent rapid major damage.

    The important metric is how many miles you can drive before it needs a quart added.
