hi guys!!!!
i need your help. i have a 1998 celica gt with 86000 miles but the car seems burning oil  . i checked today the oil level and i was two quarts below the normal and i just don't know why. my engine runs very strong but what could be wrong with it. fyi: when i bought this car i found a very small leak in one of spark plugs holes so i took it to toyota and that problems was fixed. do you think this has something to do with what is going on right know. thanks for your help!!! any suggestion about what could be the problem This post has been edited by monky32: Mar 31, 2005 - 12:39 PM |

QUOTE(monky32 @ Apr 1, 2005 - 11:50 AM) mac i checked my oil when my engine was cold and showed that i had just barely a quarter of oil which doesn't make sense because i checked the floor for oil spots and i didn't find any. when i got my car had 60000 miles and i've been using syn oil since plus i don't race my car so i just don't understand why this is happening. thanks for your replies!!!! [right][snapback]265248[/snapback][/right] Wait... a quarter of oil? Dude, the dipstick Lo to Hi range only covers about a quart of oil. If it is pegged on the bottom edge of Lo, then you are only one quart low. Just because it hits Lo doesn't mean you're running dry. It means you've burned one quart. |
