Ok so I checked my dip stick and there was no oil on it? I recently did an oil change and there's no smoke out the exhaust so I don't think its the valve guides or cud it? And a buddy of mine said I cud have the wrong dipstick? Which I'm not sure since I just had my miata for over a month now.. any info wud help thanks
It's disappeared. Please learn to spell, it will help you later in life. :roll:
Did you check on the bottom of the block? Maybe the drain bolt backed off a little? Did you tighten down the oil filter? Please give some more info or take your car to a shop.
I'm sorry i offend all the smart college educated people on here that have a higher education than I do. ill stop being lazy for you guys. Back to my question, I added a quart and it showed about half on the dipstick. I know how to work on my cars pwrofturbo. Its an oil change... and iroadster I added some already and changed blinker fluid too! I never had this problem before, that's why I asked and maikeru nothing is leaking on the outside.
Im pretty sure I could spell disappear and could since like, 1st grade... sell your miata, buy a camry, take it to valvoline.... It can still be burning even if theres not a noticeable amount of smoke coming out the exhaust... it happens...
i really hate to bump this thread, but it's the last one i recall seeing regarding mah oilz disssappppearing.
every now and then (after drives of around 50 miles) i park my car and then the next morning, i'll have a puddle of oil under the car.
also, sometimes it will leak after sitting for a few days. i have no idea what to check, no idea why it would "leak" sometimes and not leak other times.
with regard to the main seals, where can i find out more information about that?
i found this regarding the cas o ring - http://www.miata.net/garage/cas_seal.html
Damn, son. That's some thick ****. I run 5-30 full synthetic with 11psi boost and I barely see a quart go missing between oil changes. My car has almost 140k miles on it.
I'd use thinner oil if I were you. Especially with winter upon us.
