I've noticed for some time now that my pressure gauge reads alarmingly low, but tonight when taking it for a test drive I noticed it was lower than normal, so when I got back to the driveway I did my usual test to see if I'm just losing it, and here are the results. Oil in it currently is 5w30...

As the title suggests I’m having an issue where my 420a smokes and reeks of oil on downshift, out of the exhaust.It all started last year April (2024), where I encountered an issue where on 4-3 3-2 downshift or general decel smoke was coming out of my exhaust and reeked of oil. This year I...

98 GSX 2.4 Stroker Wiseco 1800HD pistons (87mm) .0045 Piston to wall clearance 8.5:1 RatioLet's talk oil. I'm about 500 miles away from the end of my break in period. I'm using Penn Grade 30W break in Oil. I planned to use 5w-30 or 0w-30 synthetic. There have been some great news oil types...

Hey guys I got a non turbo short block that I'm rebuilding, and I'm going to run it turbo. It came with the stock air cooled oil filter housing. I know some people say you have to use a cooler, and some say you don’t. I’m still on the fence about that…The real question is the non turbo oil...

Hey everyone thanks in advance for the help. Restoring a 1g talon that had been sitting for 20 years. 1. Do I need to drain the oil to remove the turbo? 2. Is there a difference between turbos in the automatic and manual transmissions in the talon TSI? All the best, Cody

Hi, I wanted to know if you guys had any luck with the alumniweld rods. Seen a lot of other cars forums,old forums posts, and videos.Lots of mixed reviews but mostly positives . Just wanted to see if there’s anyone that’s used them before on here.Long story short I want to put an aluminum...

I have a 1997 GS Spyder with a 2.4L engine and I am strugling to remove the oil pan.I have the downpipe and cat removed from the header and am strugling to reach one specific bolt. What looks like the bell housing, is in the way and blocks me from having enough clearance to reach the bolt.I...

So heres the situation, got a new sock motor with balance shaft delete. Installed motor and forgot to prime the oil pump. My oil pressure gauge was not working and figured it was the sensor and just got a new glowshift electric gauge and it reads 0 psi. Pulled oil filter when I was changing...

Hey guys, gotta do an engine oil change for my car. Does anyone know the oil capacity? Want to buy a 5 liter canister and want to know if that's enough. Also, can anyone recommend an oil filter?

I have a question and it might sound dumb but I couldn’t find any info about it. I have a 7 bolt 4g63 for my 2g eclipse that I’m currently rebuilding.A couple days ago I rotated the crank until all 4 pistons were even across. I filled each cylinder with oil. When I went back to look, the oil...

If I just remove the oil filter, only about a quart of oil will come out right? Not all the oil, since it's technically higher than the oil pan.

I just got my 1ga talon running again today and i knew i changed the oil before it sat for about a year. I checked the level and noticed it was clear. Almost made me think there was no oil in the car til the light hit it right. I put some on my finger and it feels weird. Less viscous than oil...

Anyone got any ideas on where I can permanently install my catch can? I only put it on for now to seal off the nipple on the intake pipe so it doesn't have a leak post MAF. I could get a longer hose to much it, but I don't have any mounting room anywhere to get it to sit up right.Also I still...

Okay so my oil level is perfect when it's off and cold and level, but if I let it run for about 10 to 20 seconds it goes down by half a quart which makes sense but should I fill in that extra half a quart?

Anyone know why this is happening I got oil looking lines on my spark plug wires

My car has had an oil leak since I bought it. it drips three drops right underneath the oil pump/oil filter housing area but it also sprays all over under the car. It sprays on my intercooler piping the bottom of turbo, all over the oil pan, etc it has progressively gotten worse and now it makes...

So I have my Evo 0 I am still working on and I have a breather catch can (wrong type for this car) that was included by the previous owner. I'm a poor teenager that doesn't want to spend $15-30 on a branded/ebay catch can and I don't know how to do any type of fabrication, I know oil catch cans...

Cheeko the noob here, my 1g 4G63T is leaking oil like crazy and its pissing me off. I'm finding most of the oil on top of the tranny. I replaced the valve cover gasket so far because it was ripped but I haven't tried starting it yet because it's having other problems at the moment. When I got it...

You must be registered to see element. You must be registered to see element. pretty good shaft play (I know its bad) its like 1/4 or 3/8 of an inch. I put oil in the motor like 2 or Once a week due to the oil being burned, same with the antifreeze i fill the reservoir like once a week...

Hi guys,So what does everyone who runs a mechanical clutch type LSD (Eg. Cusco LSD134C), use for their gearbox oil. Im having issues finding something to go in the box that meets the 75W90, GL4, and LSD compatible requirements.TIA!

I'm doing a close-to-full rebuild on a 1G 7 bolt, and I just pulled off the front case to get rid of the balance shafts. Opened up the oil pump and noticed gouging on the inside of the pump. The gears are pretty much fine. Little bit of visual scoring on them, but I can't feel it with my...

so my dipstick popped out and shot almost all the oil out of the motor... i changed the oil and now when i start it its sputtering and spitting white smoke from the exhaust and hot-side i have no idea but am doing a compression test tomorrow...
