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 |

I hope you don't have any "quarters" in your engine. They weren't designed as a coin-op machine. Anyways if the oil line is right at "low" on the dipstick it's safe to say you are one "quart" low. If you have time let it set for about 15-30 minutes after you fill it with that one quart and you'll see the results on your dipstick.
