shoklid

why not just put the right amount in like to the 2nd dot. i just dnt understand really why u posted this.you should know how to check ur oil and where it should be but since you asked i assume you dont know. as long as it doesnt go below the last dot you are good i guess i never let mine get that low tho

Matt93eg

So basically its between the 2 dots on the stick?

Thats not to low. Technically when it gets to the bottom dot or below you are not running at the correct oil level. However as shoklid said..I don't under stand why you don't just top it off to the top dot??

i dont wanna mix old oil with new i usually do my oil changes every 1k miles, so i checked the level yesterday and saw that it was inbetween the dots, just wanted to make sure that it wasnt a big issue driving the car like that

shoklid

wow ok why do you change it that much. thats overkill. and also mixing old oil an new oil whats wrong with that. id rather do that than run my oil level down. and y is your car loosing that much oil my goodness not 1000 miles and its low, sounds like u gotta prob on ur hands

VTECROAR96typeR

i dont see what my problem is, i did the last oilchange 2 months ago

shoklid

oh so your doin the 1k change cause u dnt drive it much ok that would make sense. it didnt register to me that u might not drive it much. i wasnt bashing on you at all by any means i just didnt get it. so with that said i think you are doin the right thing i guess

VTECROAR96typeR

^^ thank you sir

slow96lude

are you checking it once the car is warm and and a couple minutes after you shut it off. because that will make it go up a little bit since the oil is getting a little thinner

VTECROAR96typeR

i drove it from my house to the gas station wich is like 2 blocks away

slow96lude

thats enough time for it to warm up. I would put like half a quart in it

slow96lude

and mixing oils isn't going to hurt anything as long as you put in the same oil. Use synt if you put synt in it or conventional if thats what you use and you will have no problems

shoklid

no prob..btw what does the triangles mean lol call me a dumbass but i see it everywhere and not sure what its purpose is

VTECROAR96typeR

its pointing to you, like ^^ im replying to you

VTECROAR96typeR

i know it wont hurt anything but its like adding new coke to a cup that has 1/2 cup of flat coke

slow96lude

you crack me up. I love the analogies

shoklid

thanks for the education my friend haha. i shoulda figured that 1 out myself.

slow96lude

some people also do the as a post to make the topic go to the top of list like a bump

Matt93eg

Its easier to just quote what that person said and then respond under it. That way they know exactly who your talking to.

And that analogie was great..haha.

Shoklid, LOL on the ^^^, I saw a post I think it was yesterday and someone did that and I think it might have been Rick_Rabies(not sure)responded and was like "what the hell is ^^^..is that like a JDM cuss word"

It was funny you mentioned the arrow deals when I just read that yesterday.

VTECROAR96typeR

yeah but i didnt know more than 1 person where gonna put their 2 sence in this thread, thats why i did the lil ^^

shoklid

it was rick, thats to funny bc that was my thread and nobody answered you about that so i never got the answer haha thats to funny when u said that i lmfao about that

Matt93eg

Yeah I see where your coming from. I wasn't lecturing you or anything.

BTW...a flat coke is disgusting LOL

Matt93eg
