You can usually drive with low oil for a short period of time without causing any damage, but it’s not something you should do for an extended period. If your car’s oil level is low, it means there isn’t enough oil circulating through the engine to keep it properly lubricated. This can cause the engine to overheat and eventually break down. So while you may be able to get away with driving with low oil for a little while, it’s not worth the risk in the long run. Make sure to check your oil level regularly and top it off if necessary.
