So I ordered a oatmeal stout all grain kit from morebeer. The estimated OG is 1.058-62. They sent me 2 viles of white labs English ale yeast wlp002. I am making a 1 liter starter and wonder if u should add both viles? Or should I save 1 for future use?

If you're happy about making a starter, and you have a need for an extra vial of WLP002 in the near future I'd definitely save a vial for future use.

If you have a stir plate I think you will be ok. You should have enough yeast be ok. If not you maybe under pitching a bit but it will be fine either way. When I started brewing I used to just pitch one vial without a starter and was fine.
I vote for starter and saving the extra yeast for later.
Are you doing 5 gal or 10 gal?

A starter, for sure. I'd use yeastcalc.com or mrmalty.com to determine the proper starter size.
^^^ This for sure. You can make a starter of the right size for this batch and save the other vial and make a properly sized starter for that batch.
