Hey there,
So you oil indicator stays full after 5k miles? I got my engine replaced and i still get oil consumption to add 1 quart of oil every 750miles. So your saying after valve guides replacement your not getting oil consumption even at 5kmiles?
Thanks |
I can't speak for SUPAHONE but I can speak on my experience.
Before I got my valve stem seals replaced a little under a month ago, I could visually see be oil level drop on my dash, since then I have not seen it drop at all. When I first got my car back it stayed on that screen all day and every time I drove because I was so worried it would be the same result. I checked it using Carly (not sure how accurate that is but it seems legit) to see the exact percentage and I am at 98% after almost 1,500 miles.
Fingers crossed but only time will tell, I will have not hit the 5k mark but I am optimistic because the car feels much much better then it ever has. It definitely does not feel like a brand new motor but it is night and day compared to what it was.
