If you have lost that much oil, there must be a huge spill underneath the car. I would find a place to do the repairs and then have it towed there. There are six liters of oil in the engine, if it all came out over the winter, once started, it could come out a lot faster tows are cheaper than engines in my opinion
Thanks, Rick

You appear to be 2+ quarts low on oil. Don't start an engine that low on oil.
You can try putting in 2 quarts of Walmart 20-50 oil and see if you get a reading on your dipstick.
