so i bought the car about a month ago and just gave it a oil change.
the dealer ship said that they just gave it a oil change when i bought it.

sooo i put about 600 miles and i just wanted to make sure everything was ok and was up to date.

so i gave it a oil change and put the old oil back in the oil container. had barely 3 quarts.. and very black and drity.

is this normal? or do you think the dealer ship is bsing. i cant really tell cause the oil light or anything didnt come on...

 

Could be u "must check the oil often" , check mine after about a tank and half ...get the oil changed ...don't think they did that ...even if they did u wanna know u have the right filter on .

 

If that oil light comes on... its already too late.

 

yea i just got the filter from checkers. the k&n.... the most expensive but i think that
the first oil change for a used car is the most important and then i start getting the 4.99 filters

cause i don know what the other persons been doing to the car and how they treat it.

 

The dealer is probably bsing you. It would be a good idea to change all your fluids now and check your brake pads. Check your spark plugs and the dates on your coil packs. Check your timing chain tensioner. Do a compression check. If everything is fine and you are only eating a little oil, the engine is healthy. How much oil did you fill? That should give you an answer as to how low you were. I fill about 5.5 qts.

 

lololol really? my van has its oil light on but its measured buy miles. every 2500 miles.
and i know once the light is on i got another good 500 miles cause i use synthetic on the van too LOL.

 

It's an oil PRESSURE light, not an oil quantity light.

 

i flush it out with .5 quarts
and then fill up with 5.2 quarts

and dang how much does a compression test go for?

 

wahhh... my chevy van says how much oil is left when the light comes on..
and it does the same in my friends chevy avalanche. comes on when theres around 30% oil left or 2500 miles in my van.

 

use oem filters
