Happened again this morning. I'm due for an oil change. Actually, about 700 miles overdue. What are the risks of continuing to drive this?

Better than no time and no vehicle if it grenades. Should be real easy to find a port to attach a mechanical gauge and run the hose through the window for a quick read. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Thanks for the quick input. One of the things I love about this group. Okay, I am now open to all manner of criticism for my stupidity for the next 24 hours. Go!
Hold on now,Dipstick operation is a very complex system to master, now you have a better foundation to start from.Just look Ken had you rebuilding the engine, and TRN had you calling engine shops to get labor quotes.Dipsticks are tricky but it seems you might be on a positive trajectory to understanding the basics
This is gettin' ugly fastNew subjectWhat about those reds??

Did you mention how low it was?
You know, I did have to break out the manual to figure out how to operate the dipstick. It sent me to a youtube channel that had a man-bun wearing hippy tell me about all the benefits of joining the liberal movement. I then said, "To h3ll with that!", popped the hood, and grabbed hold of this stick thingy that said "OIL" on it! Would you believe that stick thingy actually has an area on it that says "SAFE LEVEL" and another that says "ADD OIL"? Who new? LOLChecked the oil multiple times over the past few days, and it is solidly in the safe zone. I'll continue to keep an eye on it. Still no leaks or drips anywhere.Oh, and as an ARMEE combat arms guy, my skin is quite think. I've enjoyed the comments on my stupidity. Keeps one humble! ;-)
