well my sister been driving her RSX for a couple of week now with barly 3 quarts of oil and i just found that out today. she told me her car was shaking crazy. so today i drain the rest of the oil out and refill it with 5 quart. and i was wondering if that shaking thing going to be a permanent problem. hopefully nothing's bent inside the engine.

after I refill the engine with oil, the engine still vibrates but a little bit less than last time.

 

what type of shaking? whole car or just in engine compartment??

 

lol well if its running now then at least u caught it.. its obviously not good.

 

the whole car. mainly from the engine compartment.

 

could be from the oil but haven't heard about it before....could be a busted motor mount or a tire that is out of round or unbalanced.....its possible that she bent a valve if she was driving it hard

 

Low oil of course isn't a good idea but make sure you don't put too much. What are the mods on the car?

 

Hopefully it end up ok!

Make sure you tell her to check the f***ing oil once in a while.

And also make sure you tell her to not be like the people that come into my work that just add a quart of oil every once in a while just because without even checking the oil.

IDIOTS!

Hope it is ok man!

 

People actually do this??

 

Bro, I worked at Jiffy Lube as a side job for almost 4 years. I've seen all the stupid *** retard horror stories. Including the lady that filled her engine with water to the tippy top over flowing because her water temp light came on. I mean in the engine too! She removed the oil cap and proceeded to fill it to the tippy frickin' top!!

 

^^The lack of common sense in America is absolutely frightening.

Pics of sister?

 

I agree... common sense of people suck...


Can you explain the shaking better?? Like maybe just a bad motor mount? Do you hear sounds? Ticking? Clanking? etc.

 

Once again asking for pics of the ladies lol...

 

As long as it doesn't go under the lower dot on the dipstick you are ok... but you shouldn't keep it close to that lower dot for long!

 

Threw that in there just for you.

Now I have a reputation to uphold

 

my car shakes a little too i was just stopped at a stop sign & it was shaking then when i pressed the gas it was fine. i checked the oil when i got to my job & it was low so i topped it off. now it doesnt do it anymore

 

is it a common problem with the k series?
cause my car burn oil too specially when i always drive in the freeway and stay revving it up hard and i notice it burns only when the oil is new

 

I figured

 

you will burn more oil if you drive it hard and use vtec often....this is common sense and not a common problem......

 

Wow that is crazy!!!!!!!

 

Yeah, when the lady was telling me what she did I couldn't help but laugh at her lol. At first I thought she was kidding until I saw/heard her car lol! I felt like such a D-bag! She was kinda cute too... I bet you could guess what type of girl she looked like

 

A stripper?

 

Riding low on oil for 2 weeks = not good. I probably just reiterated what someone else said though. Hope its ok.

 

I agree...roughly our motor takes about 5 quarts or 4.7 quarts and having 3 quarts is okay but not good for long driving.
