can anyone tell me whats wrong with my car? i had just changed my engine oil about 2000km (about 1200miles) ago and now when i use the dip stick i can see about 1/4 of the oil is gone!!! I currently use Redline 10W30 and during the winter time i use Redline 5W30 (and engine burned oil too). My car is stock except for AEM CAI and Spoon cat-back (b-pipe + axle-back). One thing that I observed is that after hard runs i can usually smell some brunt smell and its comming from the front of the car....could it be the smell of engine oil burning? perhaps the oil cooler is broken? or i need a valve adjustment? or just my engine is fucked up and i should sell my car immediately? please help thanks in advance guys

 

Thats alot of oil consumtion! If you can smell it, it's probablly leaking externally. Do you see oil spots on the ground? If not, it's not that uncommon for B18C-R to use oil. It won't be the valve adjustment. Could be valve seals, piston rings. Check all the sparkplugs for oil (look & smell) that will sum it up! Good luck!

ok i'll admit i'm exaggerating alittle about the oil comsumption but what are u guys getting out of ur engine (how many Km/miles per quart ?). And no i dont see oil spots on the ground.

 

what mileage on the car? have you ever replaced the headgasket?

 

about 39000km (24233miles) on the car ....i got it 2nd hand when it had 23000km (14291miles) on the car. nothing have ever been replaced besides the exhaust and intake.

 

How does your engine bay look? Dirty? Oily?

If someone follows you and you drive hard, does the car smoke?

 

engine bay dosent look dirty but it dosent look clean either and i havent cleaned the engine bay since i got the car last september... and none of my friends ever mention anyting about smoke comming out of my exhaust so i guess there is no smoke too....
