you better call them ASAP! There could be severe damage done to the engine.

Make sure you have all the receipts of your visit to the shop too.

 

I do but i cannot believe that this shop would forget something like that. My coworkers are trying to think of everything that could have happened and it seems like the most logical explination. my car is lowered so you couldn't get to the oil plug to dran my car in my driveway and there is no way i burned up 5 quarts of oil in 2-3 weeks. All i know if that if they did forget that they own up to it. something like that is so easy to cop out of and if it did **** my engine then i'm going to go insane.

 

did you blow off your upper inter cooler pipe? or have you checked on it at all. I was experiencing the same problems and i looked and saw my upper ic pipe blew off from my throttle body

 

after checking all my piping it seems ok. still doesn't explain the lack of oil in my engine.

 

Same thing happened in my subaru. I'm surprised no one knew what it was cause the problems were so apparent. The only difference is the car should be faster since there is nothing restricting the crank and engine.

 

surprised your oil light didnt come on?

thats sucks engine damage for sure with no oil,sorry to hear of your troubles,I always do the work on my car just because of these stories...

That shop has to pay for anything thats damaged,hows your coolant tank? any oil in there?

 

Ok before everyone gets their panties in a frizzle... what the originator of the post needs to do... even before posting any more info... is call the shop and explain what happened. Give them a chance to fix it before ruining a rep on the internet.

Shops have insurance for this stuff. Call them and let them take a stab at it first.

 

and i did just that. shop never touched any lines or drained any oil. my car apparently burned off 5 quarts of oil in between oil changes and i don't race it either. i've heard of people being 1-2 quarts low after track days but this doesn't make any sense. i'm only running at half boost and i have to be in 5th gear to get up to 80 mph.

to better describe the sound it is clearly making the clicking sound in turn with the cylinder heads. i cannot picture how on earth i could burn up 5 quarts in 3000 miles. a car with only 20k miles on it should not be doing that.

 

in one of your previous posts you said they did?

I'm confused =P

 

sorry my mistake and after i talked to the owner he told me it was not changed. I had asked them to do an oil change and they did not. That was only 1000 miles ago. I couldn't pick up the car during their business hours so i had my father pick up the car. He talked to them about the work and everything else and he told me. I figured that they had performed the oil change and it was dropped in the communication from the owners to my father to me.

Regardless i should not have burned off that much oil in such a short time.

the true nature of this post has been lost somewhat because i was looking for some sort of idea on what could be causing these issues.

 

that is why you should check your oil atleast 3 times a week..

 

how can you be so sure? Do you know what oil filter you had on the car before you took it too the shop? Check the filter now and see if it is the same one. Also, where did you take your car to get serviced? mitsu?

 

ok the shop did not change my oil and I told them to change it. I was under the impression that it was changed. i checked my oil before i took it to the shop and i had plenty of oil in the car, at least 4 quarts. The work that was done on the shop was pads, rotors, and EBC set to 19.5. no power adders that would cause oil to burn off like that.
I do check my oil reguraly but right after i change/think it was changed i do not check it. 1500 miles after a change is when i begin to check it and that is why i checked it today.

what would cause oil burnoff like that and can anyone even guess what is the root of my problems are? so far its just been theorized that i blew off a pipe or hose. i just want to have an idea on what happened.

 

your evo must be new.

 

You could be just low enough to not get good oil pressure to the head, but everything else is ok ... The EVO has hydralic valve lash adjusters and if they get low on oil they clatter like mad.

If you are 5 quarts low, you should at least see the low-oil light come on. I'm really doubting you were 'that' low. If that light did not come on and you 'are' 5 quarts low, then you have a defective sensor, and that should be the basis of a warranty repair.

Good Luck,
