Serviced my car (Honda Jazz 1.3 Hybrid) slightly over a month ago and they found that the engine is leaking oil. Haven't gotten it fixed yet as I plan to send it to a different workshop.
Since it's been a while and the oil level is quite low (still waiting for the other workshop to free up a slot for my car) is it a good idea to top up temporarily with some cheap engine oil for the moment? Saw some other older threads here mention brands like Bold and Mizu which are very affordable (~RM50-80 @4L) for 0W-20.
The upcoming repair will be quite extensive.. the Honda service center gave me a 7 page list of various gaskets and internal seals to be replaced lol. With all this work to be done to the engine I suppose using the cheap engine oil shouldn't be a problem since they're going to have to open up the engine anyway?
