So my question is if you leak about a qourt of oil over a month and well lets just say I had a minior FML moment when I looked at the Dipstick and it was at the Add mark did I do any harm or is harm occur when you run to less then 3-4 qourts? I mean I caught it pretty early but I kinda feel stupid for not checking.. :roll:

Like the car feels perfect.
 
no damage done, but keep your eye on the condition of the oil, as the life may have shortened just a little...

you'd be suprised how many people come in my store each day, and their oil doesn't even touch the end of the stick...

Yeh I know I just changed the breaks on my uncles sunfire and I checked the Oil :shock: Almost bone dry.
 
i mentioned it before but i strongly recommend going through the car.

i'd hate for this thing to give out on you, its almost 30.. i know you've invested in some go fast parts but you wont be going fast very long without building up your base.

Yeh I've done all those things so far the only thing left to do is clean the MAF or do a LT1 translator and clean the intercooler
 
These cars all leak oil eventually. Just keep an eye on it. Been lucky with mine so far. Remember when you change the oil to unhook the ecm and crank the engine over to prime the system and turbo. Then reconnect the ecm and reset your TT chip.

Thanks for the help. I think I need to tune my Turbo Tweak chip anyway maybe add more fuel at WOT.. I'm not sure I'm getting my powerlogger at the end of the month :mrgreen:
