Hi all, today I was driving in highway and everything was going well....when I came back in city when I arrived at first light and had to stop I took a fast look to the gauge cluster and noticed a red light so I worried and turned off the car.
Then I restarded it and no lights went on...after a while I started to run again and when I stopped again I saw the engine oil light on!! So I parked to analize the problem. I shutted off again checked the engine oil quantity and was ok, not full but ok and no oil leaks at all. I started again and no lights on but after about 10 seconds running at idle the light came ON again I noticed that if I just rev to 2k or more RPMs the light goes off so the pump at 2k + RPMs work. I thought the following possibilities: - Oil sensor not working good. - Oil pump not working - Oil pump dirty What do you thing guys???????????????? HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP |

Yes, I should have read your profile 1st, you may have some serious prbs inside, especially if it just started using all the oil, using that much, I suspect it got hot and the rings are now bad, I dont think the valve seals will use that much, but I could be wrong. with all that work in the engine, why dont you already have gauges in the car? either way, I think you should be taking a serious look at things before it gets any worse.
Also make sure you have an oil filter with the anti-drainback valve in it, helps to get oil to the upper end faster instead of having to wait for the oil filter to refill every morning. |
