    We have a '05 A/T altis. My brother called me and told me that the check oil lits up in the gauge.

    He stopped at a gas station to have it check, the dipstick has no signs of oil in it. He tried dipping it for 5x wala talaga as in.

    Now we wonder, last PM nun was june this year. No signs of oil leak.

    How come naubusan ata ng engine oil?

    Help!

    check the oil pressure sensor, it can drain your oil fast.

    Dapat sisindi ang Oil Pressure Lamp sa Gauge mo momentarily kapag pag start ng engine. Then mamatay sindi nito kapag umandar na yun oil pump sa kasabay ng engine. Since naubusan ka na ng oil ay dapat may sindi na iyan as warning para di masira yun crankshaft at engine mo. Palagay ko pundido Oil Pressure Lamp.

    Nakakabit ang Oil Pressure Sensor sa engine block. Meron ito isang wire. Check mo rin kung nabunot connector.

    Hwag sana disconnect ng nagbenta sa iyo ng kotse para di mo makita ang problem.

    I seldom use that car, pero IIRC umiilaw naman yun oil pressure lamp after starting engine then it will turn off din after ilan seconds.

    Im hoping hindi gaano malaki problem. Observe muna kami kung bumawas ulit ng oil, grabe sa top-up 2liters nailagay.

    Di pa talaga ubos yon. May langis pa yan pero di na abot ng dipstick. Kasi dapat mag-seize yung engine kung totally natuyuan nang umaandar.

    Better top-up with oil or kung due na, change oil na.

    Baka pumping oil na ang Engine mo meaning ang lumalabas sa exhaust pipe mo ay white smoke. Ang cause nito loose pistons and rings. Simple to test run your Engine pagkatapos I-revolusiyon at high RPM if may white smoke na lumabas sa exhaust you need Engine Overhauling.

    An engine can consume it's motor oil if there is a leak along the cylinder wall, pistons or pistons rings. Basically the oil ends up in the combustion chamber and gets burned with the fuel. A slow leak over a long time can consume the entire engine's volume of motor oil.

    Short term fix - just add more motor oil and check time to time if it drops below a certain level.

    Long term fix - engine overhaul to fix the oil leak.

    That, or it may be as simple as valve guide seals.

    1. Check for visual oil leaks
    2. Check spark plugs for signs of oil contamination
    3. Compression test

    Thanks everyone. As of now top-up muna ginawa, naka 2 liters din ang nailagay. Kaya im WTF! Where did the engine oil go?

    Later try ko yung high rev and check for white smoke.

    What does engine overhaul mean? Mukhang terminal case na yun ah.

    Baka worn out ang valve stem seals. Mag leleak sa combustion chamber yung oil.

    dapat din kasi sa umaga i check yung oil level or pag medyo matagal na hindi umandar yung engine para masukat yung level talaga ng oil

    I agree with erick, wag kayo sa gasolinahan.mag check ng langis... check it in the morning (after hours of leaving it with your engine turned off.) Kasi kung hindi e malamang nag cicirculate pa yung langis sa makina..

    Somebody forgot to put enough oil. Since your oil pressure sender is working (as you described it to be), it is possible only a litre was placed just enough for the dip stick not to touch the oil in the sump. Some other things worth checking - loose drain plug, did not replaced drain plug washer not sitted properly causing leak, loose oil filter, blow-by eating your oil, leak in the oil return-pipe.

    Renew the oil, pour correct level, then observe the garage in the mornings for oil streak. Check also if the exhaust has the blue color of death.

Can your engine dry up its oil?
