lceah Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 When you are driving and you smell it, pull in somewhere and find out where the oil is coming from...that will help figure out what's bad and to replace it... gl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTiS Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 well i have kinda noticed that no oil has been showin up on dipstick. i did an oil change recently and put like 3 quarts in but it didnt show up. the other night after i left the meet i put 2 quarts in and it showed up at the bottom. i figured it was cuz i was on an incline.

You realize that after an oil change you should be putting in about 4.5 quarts right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTiS Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 the sedan should only hold 3.5. should i still put the 4.5 in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 You have to put in the amount of oil your manual says! What does the manual say for your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 the sedan should only hold 3.5. should i still put the 4.5 in? With oil and filter change, it's 4.5 quarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTiS Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 ok. maybe thats the prob then. im due for another one farily soon so ill def see if that helps. the 4.5 does make sense tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 ^check your manual...it should be 3.5 quarts...don't you have D15B7? maybe it's the valve cover gasket? Oil is coming from somewhere and burning so you have to find the origin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
