Very nice and detailed description. The best thing I liked is that the video was to the point without any time wasting talking like many other car repair videos do. High quality presentation which was very helpful. Thank you!
OK, my 2008 PT cruiser whose I’ve always gotten regular oil changes always taking very good care of it has 109,000 miles on it. Yes you read that right has suddenly got an oil leak and a fairly wrap it when it seems and I mean, I haven’t had a oil change in about two years. I probably put about 4000 miles on it in the last two years because I have not been able to drive much. I grew up another hood of a car so I’m kind of perplexed I’ve checked around to see if I could spots around gaskets and what have youany ideas?
J - Not going to lie, this is hard to follow. But we will do our best to assist here. Common places to check for oil leaks on the PT are the oil pan, the oil filter, the oil release screw, or the gaskets on top of the engine. Keep us updated.
Im concerned if this applies to my car. I have a 2008 toyota camry LE with 152k miles. Approximately 3000 miles before my oil change, my oil lamp comes on and I need 3.5 quarts of oil. There is no oil on garage floor and there is no smoking on a cold crank. Noone can explain this and some have said I need a heavier weight oil 10w30 instead of 10w20. One shop said they felt it was burning oil (no smoke or on floor) and I need a new engine. Please advise.
Your car is burning oil, you can find the reasons as to why this happens specifically with a simple search on google but to sum it up its because your engine is old and is deteriorating. You have 2 options 1) Replace the engine 2) Temporary solution for now is to add the heavier oil. Adding a heavier weight oil like 10w30 or 10w40 will fix your issue for quite sometime, it stops the oil from burning. If ever the car is with you for long enough, eventually will start burning that 10w30 too so you'll shift to the heaviest oil like 20w50 and if that starts burning then replace the engine. Hope this helps

N54 owners like myself definitely know a lot about this topic 😂😅
Bass - All too well... Pretty much have had all of these on our BMW's.

L - Unfortunately the shop may be correct.. How is it running otherwise?
