ya u dumb especially not checking it before/ after a trip, but remember that the dipstick usually only measures 1-2 quarts of your oil capacity
so you didn't run the engine bone dry and aren't an completely stoopid

Old oil is not that bad as /o/ make it.
It's seems like you check just before it's too late.
You can change oil every 20k km and its will be find

No it fucking won't you're retarded. Oil viscosity will increase and increase well after its life time of use. All the built up contaminants and metals will just cause more issues. Polymerization is another huge issue that directly causes oil sludge.

Don't be a fuckin retard. Change your oil with the oem recommended oil at the recommended mileage/time interval
