Nope.

i changed my VSS not long ago and notice that the fluid was up to it. like up to where the gear is at. Is that normal or is that too much and that could be the problem?


LOL i posted this in the wrong topic sorry.

You're burning it slowly and consistently. Small amounts of oil burn cleanly. 0.25 quarts in 400 miles is 1 quart in 1600 miles, which isn't particularly bad. Just keep the sump full and it will keep running.

I put a breather on the valve and it stoped my problem.
