Posted by cyan, Oct-13-01 10:21 AM ive lost all 5 quarts of oil i put in since the turbo install. i checked it last night and there was nothing on the stick, so i put three more quarts in today. where did the oil go? i dont have a leak and im not getting any smoke, so its not burning. any ideas?

8761, RE: where is my oil going? Posted by toykilla, Oct-13-01 11:20 AM I had the same problem with my first 4 quarts of oil I put in after I installed turbo (HRC) I called Bill Hahn and he told me that because of the turbo these 420a's push out the oil from the filter and its caused by access oil. 5 quarts is 1/2 quart to much for 420a's. He told me to put in 3.5 instead of 4.5 quarts or the engine would push it out through the air filter. Did you check your air filter??? The oil stained mine with brown spots. Since I put in what Bill told me to I havent had a problem since. Good Luck man. Also?? What kind of indiglo's ya got?? I need some that I will not have to remove the pins for. Any ideas??
8762, RE: where is my oil going? Posted by cyan, Oct-14-01 04:22 PM you dont have to remove the pins for any gauge faces, you slide them over the pins. i only added 4 quarts at a time, then added one later when i lost some. so i didnt overfil it and my filter has no oil spots on it PIC-CHAHS: www.blue2gnt.homestead.com FULL SITE: www.geocities.com/blue2gnt

I had the same problem, lost all my oil with no signs of a leak or smoke out the exhaust. Everyone watch their oil levels! I spun a f###ing bearing cause of my low oil levels! Strauss 95 GS...
