or. . . you could make a kit for her. My wife's former X5 burned oil and I would try to keep up with checking it. However, she was always on the go with the kids, etc. so I put a qt of M1 0w40, a cheap paper funnel, and some latex gloves in a gallon ziplock bag and placed it in the rear storage area. She called me one time and said her low oil warning light came on while on freeway. Smartly, she pulled over and turned off the engine. I told her about the oil (she wanted to call a tow truck), and walked her thru where to pour the oil. turns out a seal had failed, but that was enough to get her home.
now I have the same set up in her Escalade, just in case.
