Well... Ive put on about 2000 miles from my last oil change and my oil is VERY low. Not even in the min/max level, it was on the very end of the dipstick. I checked it the other day when I smelled something. Kind of a burning smell. Not sure what it was, but I knew something wasnt right. So I pull my dipstick out and notice the oil is barely on the dipstick, but theres some bubbles on it? Why do I have bubbles on my dipstick? haha. Or is this normal, cuz Ive never really noticed it before. So I went to the advanced auto and got some oil and some kind of oil treatment thats soppossed to stop leaks n whatnot. I poured the treatment and 1 quart of oil in. Now its full.

So whats goin on? Theres no way I should of been that low already! Do you think pouring that treatment stuff in was a good idea and should solve the problem? If my oil problem, isnt really that big of a problem....... Ill just check it every once in a while and make sure I have enough oil in there to make it happy.

I've seen this response a lot "do a compression check". You may have a bad ring somewhere.

I did a compression test about a month or 2 ago. I got like 205 on all 4. I guess Ill try it again.

Alright... just went outside and did the compression test again.
Got 205-210-205-210

I also checked the dipstick (car off) and there werent any bubbles on it.

Uhm...that was my only suggestion cause I've seen it a bunch of times before. Beyond that I'd be clueless

Hi, I had kinda the same problem with mine, I was leaking oil about a quart every 2000 miles, and I put a quart in and some of that treatment...And I haven't had a problem since, its been in there about 2 months now. Hope that helps.

you're probrably just burning oil, it happens just add more oil and keep a quart with you. Are you using synthetic?

I was using valvoline 10w30 dura blend at the time. But since that pissed me off, I poured in some mobile 1 10w30. Im not really sure if it was synthetic or not. Well... it might of been, cuz the price was alot higher. I dunno. haha

my car loses 4 quarts every 1000 miles im in a load of crap trying to figure it out
