Whether the dark color means anything depends on the oil you use. Some oils are just naturally dark. At 3500 miles, probably time for a change (the harder you push the engine, the sooner you need to change the oil and I'm guessing you drive pretty hard). The cardboard-under-the-car trick works very well for finding drips. I'd try that until you can get it on a lift. More than likely, you do not have a leak but it's possible. You're probably just using the normal amount of oil for the way you drive. One quart for 3500 miles of hard driving is pretty good. Just in case you didn't catch it before, check your oil (and other fluids) often.

also, wtf kind of question is 'is the oil level low'? look at the dogdamn owner's manual and you'll know that the oil level is low. is it dripping from the car? who the f- knows. he put cardboard under the car, which is fine. i would just take a flashlight and look down if the lower shroud has oil or not. but was that the question? no go hump your LGSST. |

I agree with Mr.kenchan 200% on this one. when the owner's manual tells you how to read the dip-stick, how often should you change the engine oil in the maintenance manual. you can find all those stuffs with the material YOU ALREADY HAVE. if not, use the search button..!!!! or DIY section..!!! why setup a new thread asking "do I have enough oil?" I don't know you have enough oil or not, but if your steak turn out all black and burnt, then you need more oil...!!! Last edited by alcheng; 02-03-2014 at 11:42 AM. |
