so i got my car back from the repair shop, and when i got home i smelled a pretty strong burning smell coming from the engine bay.
the repair shop did drive it to a subaru dealership to replace a window motor, and then took it to a place to get film on, then back to the body shop. probably less than 20km total of driving for them.
i checked the oil and it appears to be pretty low, it’s not even filling the bottom hole of the oil stick.
i did change my oil right before my road trip which was a 7000km trip. a few hundred of those was spirited driving, probably like 4000km was in 35+ degree heat.
i have an oil change appointment next Monday, and i have to drive about 25km to get there. should i add a bit of oil in or should i leave it until then?
i checked the cam plate and didn’t see any oil leaks.
i imagine non of the people handling my car would have messed it up in that short time frame.
i have no idea what the smell was. could it be something burning off from the bodyshop? does low/dirty oil make a smell? i would imagine if it got that bad my oil light would come on.
