i might be wrong or i might not know anything about a honda. but when my 94 integra isn't running and i check my oil stick, there is oil on it. but when i start the car, let it run for a min or two and then check the stick again. there isnt' any oil on the stick. is it suppose to do that? or somtin wrong? sorry if its a stupid question.

 

any idea? if i don't know if that is a problem then i'm going to get rid of the car

 

if you burn though that much oil in a minute or two you have a problem

 

is the car still running while your checking the oil?

 

as long as the oil is at the at the right amount when the car is off you are fine. when the car is running the oil is circulating around in the engine so there isn't much in the bottom of the crankcase for the dipstick to reach.

 

yea. there is no oil burning of any sort. so thx for the help

 

haha no problem

 

well said

 

x2

I always start the car for a few seconds then check the oil so I make sure some oil is in the upper parts of the engine but that's just me
