oil loss for K24 engine

Post by previa333 » Tue Oct 05, 2010 10:50 am

any bros have any experience with ody engine with regards to engine oil loss? Mine is getting worse from Max to Min with just 1k travelled. Any flaws with any seals on K24 engine or leak from sensor?

do you see any oil stain under your ride after you park your car over nite?

suggest you get the professional to do a scan where your oil go to....before you cooked it....

U mean odc engine oil will decreased over time??
Sounds scary. I'm on rb1 and does that mean I need to check engine oil level at fixed interval I.e. Weekly?

mechanics found nothing as the oil plug and sump all very clean with no stains. Parked overnite but find nothing on the floor. No white smoke or anything wrong. This is strange

my issue is also the Engine Oil. From Service @ KM and after 5000km of travelling, the Engine Oil dip will drop from MAX to bare min over time... Mine also has no signs of spills or leak after SA also checked. No white smoke nor any symptoms as well.

But yours drop in 1k Travelled is abit :shock: $ use for engine oil will be a bomb.

if really got no solution, then have to use cheaper mineral oil. Since frequent topping up means ample supply of fresh oil lol :lol:

Happened to me too during warranty period. Kah Motor put a dye in the engine to try to trace the leak, could not find anything. Think they decided changed some of the seals, but this is a major job.

I never routinely check the level of oil...
How often do you all do that?
