oops, reminds me i should really check mine right now.

 

This is a great reminder. I do oil changes so frequently and have never burned enough oil to really worry about it but I will check more often. Thanks for the reminder

 

i have a habit of reseting my odometer every day... i guess i keep track of how many miles i drive in a day... no reason, just some dumb habit... i pretty much check it after every other fillup though

 

thanks for the reminder

 

good reminder phase
as a new owner ( bought mine 4 months ago ) I didnt realize the car was known for burning so much oil. Now that i know this, i will also keep a close eye on the oil level. I just changed my oil a month ago and the car hasnt moved since. However, i will go check it tommorrow now that i know this. Thanks again !

 

Read the owner's manual - it tells you to check the oil EVERY time that you fill the car up with fuel, also tells you to check the coolant overflow.

I NEVER fill up without checking the oil - only takes a minutes to pull out the dip stick, wipe it off, and then re-insert - wait a few seconds, pull out and take a reading.

thanks for the reminder...I have never had any issues, even while tracking/autoxn' the car....

 

No problem. I just thank god my motor still moves, just wanted to pass that on in case anyone else hadin't checked in awhile.

I now reset my trip and check every 100 miles, thanks for the tip Cape Cod.

 

i dont like checking the oil at the gas station because the engine is still warm and can give deceptive readings. i usually let the car sit overnight and check it first thing in the morning(lets all the oil drain to the bottom of the oil pan).

 

yes, you guys should listen to his advice, mine ran out of motor oil... and I had an engine failure.. =*(
