We bought another car last weekend. Nothing flash just a little old Suzuki Wagon R 1.3LEverything seems fine, considering it's 13yrs old.I cycle to work but lack of transport is forcing ever more pressure on my partner as she then has to do all the little errands that we all take for granted when you're used to having personal transport.Anyway before we start spending money on servicing costs we'd like to run it for a few weeks to make sure there's nothing seriously wrong with it. At the moment its drives and sounds lovely.I've just been out to check the oil level and it looks a little low.Obviously I've no idea what's in it (synthetic or semisynthetic) nor do I know what viscosity it is.But I'd just like to top it up to ensure everything's OK for the next couple of weeks - then we'll see about servicing it.Can I just top it up with anything?? ( in the garage I've got half a litre of lawnmower oil 30sae and 10 -40 diesel engine oil) I know I shouldn't, but it's sunday evening, everywhere is shut except for the local filling station and we're both back at work tomorrow and to make matters worse tomorrow is the first time in several months of cycling to work where I've got to go someplace straight from work, so I'lI need to use the car.I really can't see the car doing more than a couple of hundred miles between now and the end of the month. As I say It'll hardly get used, which explains why we wanted something small, cheap and hopefully reliable.Any advice would be greatly welcome.Thanks

climbing out through the windows makes you look cool if there are any females watching.

In all seriousness our Chevrolet Tahoe is in terrible condition. My mom called today and told me it's going to tenessee for boyscout camp.Mixed oil, loose steering, coolant leak, misfire, and it's got 170k with stock u joints, bearings, and ball joints. I've got pitman/idler, tie rods, coolant dye, plugs/wires, u joints, bearings, ball joints, new upper control arms, sway bar links, and an alternator on the way. As well as everything for an oil change.Quite the repair day if you ask me!
