It was just about time for oil change.. so i went in there and checked oil level..
There was no oil on the dipstick. Added 1 litter of (somekind of oil to clean engine) and it reads half full. I was driving around with 1.5 Litter down. but there was no licks at all.
And I redlined her couple times too..
How bad is it for her?
Engine sounded pretty rough but i didnt really reliazed it.
My R never burned any oil so far.. It's the first time in 40000 Km.. so my 8 th oil change.. and it happend..
what could cause this to happen? why burning oil suddenly??

help ..
Thanks

 

piston ring!...it's a pretty common problem in type R's

 

but did i fugg my r up pretty bad or what? driving without enough oil...??

 

i did the same when i first got my R.....when u are running synthetic it seems to burn it even faster.

 

Hopefully, no damage was done. The oil light indicator did not come on right? Also VTEC still engaged correct? If so, I think you still had enough oil (barely) to hopefully be OK. Just be careful and keep an eye on your oil level.. Also, are you using Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic? If so, maybe you should try another grade..

 

If you were still "going into VTEC" then you should be ok. Not going onto the bug cam is the first extremely obvious sign that you are low on oil.

 

yes.. VTEC engaged. and no low oil level lights came on.

and yes i am using Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic.
what do you mean by different grade? like 10W?

 

You should be fine. You had enough oil in the motor for VTEC to engage and oil check light didn't come on. I would check your oil at least twice a week to make sure you aren't burning more and more oil. If something DID go wrong, you would notice it progressing worse and worse.

BTW my friend cracked his oil pan, and he didn't know until the oil check light came on, and he just got done driving 80mph for 1 hour home from school. The motor didn't suffer any damage. I would say weighing out the cases, you should be fine.

Keep a close eye on your oil and motor.

Good luck
