i just had an oil change 500 miles ago(mitsu dealership)... i was cleaning the egine bay today and pulled my dip stick...and it was low. it was lower than the lower grove. We installed my turbo back last week and we did see any oil or sign of an oil leak....i doule check it today if theres any leak...but there's none! what should i do? 03 evo gsr (got 35000 miles)

 

um, add oil?

Add oil, and then monitor levels daily until you convince yourself you have a problem, or that the dealer just underfilled it.

 

Check your oil more oftenWhen your out of gas what dod you do?

 

what i mean is....500 miles ago it was ok...the now it is low! can somebody tell me what could be the reason?

 

i did not check it after they changed my oil.....next time i will check the level but for now...i will add oil.

 

You didn't get ALL the oil in from the dealer. they didn't check probably. cost me a spun rod bearing. They did an "oil change" and put 2 or 3 quarts in mine. The evo next to me on the lift got OVER 2 quarts on his oil change. same thing happened to him.

OR, you were aggressively driving your car with the new TBE and had blow-by.

My guesses. I check my oil every time I fill the tank.

 

well over 30 oil changes since I owned my 04, back when it was new I decided to go ahead and get the free oil change they promiced. Overfilled it 1 quart!

I had to siphon a qt out the dipstick.

Check your car on level surface - makes about 1qt difference on even slight inclines.

Your not burning oil or else you will have clouds of smoke at idle

 

i've had my car for a month now plus i only drive my car thur-sun.

 

now im worried if i hurt something internal????

 

So what exactly would be the consequences of overfilling a little bit? Got my o2 housing installed a week ago and had to add about a quart of oil. Ended up overfilling it a little bit, should I be worried? Checked the dipstick and it was just a little over the top notch.

 

Nothings wrong - go to sleep

Worry about things like running methanol tank dry or tapping noises.

Just change that oil every 2-4kmls

 

Add some oil and check it again after the weekend if it is low or looks like it used a lot of oil give me a call on Monday. I will be back from ATL then. Don't worry I'm sure it is nothing, all engines use some oil, and liked smokedmustang said it probably blow by from harder driving.

 

did u just drive it? if so u may need to let it settle back into the oil pan. then top it off if its alil low.

 

+1, Turbo cars burn oil, some more then others.

 

Turbo cars with poor PVCC systems burn oil by sending leaking oil back through the intake runners.
