Q: I noticed driving back from a trip my car was having high rpms while accelerating slower than usual. I noticed my oil was low and
My car towards the end of a three hr drive started to rev when I would accelerate and my rpms would shoot higher than normal. My service engine light came on just before getting home and I checked my oil level. My car is due for an oil change but my oil stick showed I had little or no oil. Is it likely that the reving and rpms is related to the oil level? And will it be ok if I just refill it with oil I can get at a gas station ? Should I have my oil changed?
My car has 183000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
