Ford focus c max filled up oil after a week dipstick shows no oil, no burning smell no weird noises no apparent leaks… Any ideas?
If it's losing oil it doesn't matter if you smell it or not, it is what it is. Assuming you have been careful to check your parking spots for leaks it's probably burning it. Maybe bad engine seals. Regardless you need to be shopping around for a mechanic, not asking questions here.
You don't need an engine rebuild and you don't need a freaking quart of oil every week. Your pcv valve is f1cked and probably needs replacing.
The oil is Vaporizing and being sucked into the Intake thru the PCV system. Look inside the Intake Hose and see if it's wet from oil. It's caused by Blow By. You can install and Oil Catch Can to reduce the oil get into the intake. Very desirable if you have Direct Injection.
That's some serious oil consumption. Raise the hood and see if anything under there ISN'T all spattered with oil from a big leak. Look under the car too. Maybe your oil filter gasket blew out, letting oil leak under pressure.
Dip stick checking procedure is not done properly, or You poured the oil down the wrong hole?
If the motor was running and you shut it off and quickly pulled the dipstick, it will show nothing. Mainly because the majority of the oil is up under the valve cover and dripping down into the oilpan. I never check oil until the next morning and the car is sitting on level ground. That will be the true measure. Sometimes it is real hard to see because the oil is clear like water. You really got to look at it. I know I have to to figure out the depth using 5W20 oil.
- Put water in Radiator and it comes out Oil Dipstick Freeze plugs blew out and starter went out so i replaced everything and fired it up. I was so happy my Red 4x4 Machine was back. Went to put water in the Radiator and water started coming out of oil dipstick… What has happened when it froze last winter? Its a 1987 Ford Ranger 2.9l 4' Lift on 33 12.50 15s
- My buddy has a 99 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 that is leaking oil from rear passenger wheel. Any ideas on why? The brake cover is not pushed all the way against the hub. There's a half inch gap between them. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. So it has nothing to do with the wheel bearing?
- If a Ford is burning a litre of oil a week is that much? This guy I know had an old Ford and he had to put 1 litre in it every week as that is what it burnt. I consider that a car with a bad oil burning problem. Do you think the same?
- Burning smell coming out from 2005 Ford Explorer? My truck has been sitting in a drive way for 2 years recently I changed the battery and filtered the fuel and now something smells like its burning is it just the old fuel or something else that could be making the smell?
