1) minyak enjin tambah 2) minyak pelincir tambah 3) minyak pelicin tambah
Explanation:
ramona,

as 'top-up' here is adjective derived from topping up action, which is to fill up a container to capacity, i pick 'tambah'. i guess you can also opt for 'tambahan' or 'penambah'.

and far as i know, the oil used to top up will not be any special or different kind of oil to the engine (lubricating) oil that is being topped up.
