You don't say whether you are driving a petrol or a diesel, or whether the engine is naturally aspirated or fuel injected but .....
You "make" engine oil in only two ways :
1. If it's "milky" then you are getting radiator fluid (water/glycol) back into the oil = broken head gasket / cracked head, severe cooling system corrosion, etc
2. Fuel dilution - short hop driving without the engine warming up to purge excess fuel, flooding in fuel injected engines (faulty / poorly adjusted injectors), blocked fuel overpressure return line. Your car would probably be running rough / misfiring.
You don't say how fast you are "making" oil - if the oil isn't milky and your "make" rate is slow get it checked at the next service. If the oil is milky - see a mechanic now!

Start with five quarts and then check the dipstick. Add a quarter quart at a time til the dipstick reads full.
