>car starts needing a quarter of oil every 2k-3k miles What

>>16507425
it meas that, unlike your mum, your car wants to be lubricated

>>16507429
It's not normal for a car to need a quarter of oil every so often right? I got 98k miles. Started doing this around 90k I think.

>>16507425
You should literally be changing your oil every 2 or 3 thousand miles you stupid cuck.

>>16507425
It means the engine is getting old or there's a leak

check the drain plug and gasket

notice any burning smell after driving a while?

It means you have a leak. Could be extern.. could be internal. 90k is early for rings, so I'm guessing it's external

>another oil leak

I just got the leaking vacuum pump replaced entirely a month or 2 ago... what the fuck.

>>16507546
A vacuum pump has nothing to do with leaking gaskets and seals. What kind of car is your 'baby'

>>16507425
you should be changing your oil almost that often anyway

what's the mileage? check all the gaskets, especially for the oil pan. check the plug.

it its an old engine maybe a rebuild is in order

>>16507463
>>16507662

You realize most new cars have 10k mile oil change intervals?

>>16507675
yeah well fuck new cars man, really

if OP has a CURRENT YEAR bloated monstrosity he should leave

but really it depends on the mileage of the motor

>>16507425
This is normal as fuck
Especially for modern cars, especially bmws audis vws and Hondas

LMAO thanks for the laff

>>16507857
Gm dumps entire sump of oil within half a dozen miles tho

>>16507872
Hahaha good fucking joke kiddo, too bad I'm an ASE certified mechanic with a G1 patch on my fucking coveralls. You know what G1 is bucko? Light repair of every subsystem on a car, guess what 99% of wrenching is, LIGHT REPAIRS. I'm basically a master mechanic except I specialize in shit that actually matters.

At the shop I "wrench" at ( I do a lot more than turn a wrench at the Pep boys I work at and I'm fast track to forehand assistant) I rarely ever see a GM in my bays for anything beyond a scheduled maintenance , you know why faggot? SUPERIOR BUILT.

Now fuck off until you know the difference between horse power and the cartoon horses you fap to in your moms attic .

>>16507933
Lmao thank you so much anon this is top tier pasta

>>16507857
I believe it. These little engines are running thinner oil at higher temps these days so I wouldn't be suprised if a little burns up with normal use. At least more that an old 4.0L V6 making 175HP with 10w30 oil

>>16507949
You're welcome anon.

Feel free to alter or correct typos, I was in between sets at the gym when I wrote it.

>>16507857

and its a twin turbo vacuum hose clusterfuck under the hood
ujelly?

>>16508263
