I wouldn't do it. One time I rented a ryder truck to move cross country, and about halfway I checked the oil. It was ~ a quart low, so I bought a quart of oil and added it. About 10 miles down the road I noticed the low oil pressure light coming on, so I pulled over. When I pulled the dipstick out I noticed the oil had become incredibly thin, so to make a long story short I had to do an oil change on a ryder truck on the side of the highway. The old oil was all foamy and thin kind of looked like a bubble bath.
