I was out of town for a little over a week, while the weather has been below freezing. No access to indoor parking. Now that I've come back, the car won't start (no sound of the engine turning or anything) and the low oil light is on the dashboard while I'm turning the key.

I checked the dipstick (very low) and topped add about .5 liters of oil. It still won't start and the low oil light is still on. Won't be able to try a jump start for another 12ish hours.

Any advice? Should I try adding more oil even if it's above the minimum line on the dipstick now?

Welcome to the site! Sounds like a flat battery to me - especially given you say it's not turning over at all.

The oil pressure light is a red herring in this instance I think -they typically illuminate as part of the start up process, you just normally don't register it as it it will go out when the car starts. Don't add any more oil at this stage.
