No, I would just add a quart of oil that is recommended by the owners manual. Then resume regular oil change intervals (5-10k miles).

You don't know what was used, you don't know when the last oil change was, I would just change all the oil at this time, it can't hurt

I agree, for $50 how could you go wrong to change the oil completely but that wasn't the point of this post. |
