Hey ya'll,
I noticed since I got my car back from the body shop that it has been using up quite a bit of oil. Here is what I have noticed:
1. A couple of drops of oil around the oil drain plug.
I tightened the plug and that seems to have stopped the drips.
2. Last month I added 1 quart of oil.
After approximately 1 month, I am 1 quart low oil.
I was a little over due on an oil change and I know the oil may have thined a little, but with my motor having been rebuilt just over 1 year ago, I would think the rings have seated and they should have a closer tollerance. I really hope it's not rings. I changed out my oil and filter yesterday, so I am running nice clean and thick oil. I'll keep an eye on my level. I want to run a compression test on it either this weekend or the next. What PSI should I be looking for??
Thanks.
Ted
