i lose about 1 quart of oil in about 1500 miles is that normal?? the oil is still clean and i cant see any leaks.... i dont get on it too hard i just drive a lot.. i dont know whats wrong...please help..

dave

 

Compression check!

 

Uhhh, no that is not normal. Does your car shoot grey smoke out the tailpipe when you first start the car? Are you sure your car isn't leaking oil? Get under the car and mke sure there's no sign of oil leaking anywhere. Do you do your own oil changes?

 

no smoke and no signs of oil leaks..i guess i'll try the test.

 

yo dave,

check ur intake pipe. u might crank ur boost to high that pressurize oil into ur intake!

i wish i can crank my boost up.. but i dont even have a boost controler...hehehe.. but i'll check.. i have oil in the lines that run in front of the intercooler.. i figure its blow by....i dont feel that i've lost power

dave

 

while that is a possibility, there's no way he could be losing that much oil out the intake unless his intercooler is FULL of oil.

even if he destroyed his car during break in i doubt he would be able to create a bad enough ring seal to produce such ridiculous oil burning. and IF you're burning that much oil, you can see it coming out of the exhaust.

as far as i can tell, this is a matter to be handled by some one who has access to the actual car. i'm sure there is something pretty obviously out of place, or else you're getting a new motor courtesy of SOA!!! good luck and be sure to post what becomes of this, as i will be very interested to know what the problem was.

 

is your little red "oil can" lighting up?

-freddie

 

no oil can and the oil is clean and not burnt... there is no smoke out of the tail pipe.. i think i broke in the car fine.. easy driving for aobut 3000 miles...

 

u think i should take off the BOV before i take it to carlsen??/

 

well guys...time to confess!

everytime I check my oil....it appears that I have NONE!!! or always LOW!! And every once in a while I get the "OIL CAN" light so I put in a qrt. Then it is cool for a while....

What do you think this means? Could it be close to the same thing as Deeseeone.

oh my god, i heard of this one time. it is the precursor to complete catastrophic engine failure!!!!!

 

haha, yeah i put five quarts in at my last oil change and it still read low on my dipstick. i figure as long as you drive your car normally during the first 60000 miles then any problem that will happen is going to come up. damn the key ice is starting to hit the dome.

 

SIMPLE ENGLISH.....PLEASE!?!?!?!?

hahahaha j/k

that would SUCK!!!!

you never saw that thread, dood you're screwed!!!
