Few questions about my CLK

So for one this is going to be my 3rd set of wheels and it is getting rediculous. I have a huge welt in my rear tire again to. Even the tiniest pot holes cause trouble.

Second computer says i need a quart of oil and i'm not getting any service done for about two weeks. What kind of oil should i add to hold off?

Advice would be greatly appreciated

What kind of wheels do you have on? My AMG's hold of well... and I don't think there is anything worse then the roads here in Canada. There are new pot holes everyday because of our ****ty wheather conditions.

Ya i've got the AMG wheels also...I'm not sure if its just bad luck on my part or what cause everyone i talks to says that the wheels hold up great. I've gotten first the drivers side front and rear replaced both wheel and tire. Then the front two both wheel and tire. then the rear two on another occassion one still had a good tire the other needed a new. Now there is a massive bulge in my rear tire and i can tell at least 1 wheel is bent cause the ride is real shakey.
