what does it say on your dials when you turn your ignition on? If it says you only have half, then put double in that comes out?
That may be a really stupid idea, I dont know lol

Thats the worst idea ever (not true)
The oil level thing on the dials is the most inaccurate thing ever.....except the guy that predicted the rapture lol

Yeah lol, my oil level changes every time I start the engine.
Normally lower than it was before - which is pretty accurate, but sometimes it pleasantly surprises me!

if you underfill it, it will hurt your engine, if you overfill it, it will hurt it just as much and you will need to drain some out, a dipstick is literally a few quid from a dealer and they close at 5.15 so you could still run down and get one, stop being so cheap and go to get one before draining the old oil out
