It will not necessarily ruin it if you don't let it go too long. Make sure that you put the proper amount of oil in it so as it reads full on the dip stick. Check for leaks around the oil pan and valve cover gaskets and replace any gaskets that need it. Make a habit of checking your oil frequently. At least every time you put fuel in and top off as necessary. Running your oil too low for extended periods of time will cause exessive wear on your engine parts. If you run it low for long periods of time and for long distances, it could ruin your motor but if it's running ok now, i'd say that you caught it in time. changing your oil and filter every 3 to 4 thousand miles is recommended.

Can you use a stun gun to jump start your car?

Give the battery a shock, it should give your car a bit of a boost. MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT IT FIRST OR YOUR CAR MAY EXPLODE. (the shock may ignite the petrol). P.S Where on earth did you get a stun gun??? Absolutely no. A stun gun gives off a high voltage , very low current charge. Not enough to start a car. And the high discharge could destroy the electronic of the car just like a bolt of lightning.
