Question Not "The Usual" Oil Question

I checked the oil today while filling up for gas and observed that I was at the bottom dot or hole just above the L. The car was warm, indicating 180 on the oil temp gauge.
How much low am I at this point? 1/2 quart? A whole quart? Should I top it off? I have no way of knowing if the dealer used Ester Oil when they prepped the car with an oil change (I bought it pre-owned with 3800 miles on the clock). Do I need to confirm this and add Ester Oil, or can I add regular dinosaur juice without worry?
Or should I just let it go and wait for the next oil change?
