tumatalsik na oil from dipstick tube

[snowbound]

gurus, kindly enlightened me on this. my brod is currently using my car. he had change oil last month and his mechanic recommended using oil treatment, on which he cant remember the brand. yesterday, i check the car and noticed there is gas pressure coming out from the dipstick tube. occasionally, may tumatalsik ding langis na pa kunti-kunti. i immediately advised him to changed oil. malabnaw talaga ang oil na nagamit nya, i suspect it is due to the oil treatment. i asked my mechanic on this. it may be blow by, but there are also cases, according to him, its normal even for new engines to have blow by. by the way, the car is isuzu crosswind XT. does it mean, my engine is dying?

bakit mahina na po ba humatak ang crosswind nyo??

actually, ok pa naman. malakas ang hatak. im just worried that it might be blow by. syempre, lahat tayo iwas sa gastos.

Isuzu dipsticks will take 1 liter to fill it from low dot to high dot.
This means if the oil level on the stick is at the mid point, it only takes half a bottle of one liter oil to fill it. One gallon plus the additive is too much.
Saan ang level ng oil sa dipstick?

sakin hindi ko na gagamit lahat ng 4 liters ng engine oil 3 1/2 liters lang no problem naman nasa full level na sya. baka sobrang oil nga yung nailagay ng mehcanic mo sir.

ang 4ja1 yata is 5liters ang oil capacity with a change of the oil filter. did you check the oil while the engine was running?

i checked the car this morning. i had changed oil yesterday. its a little bit above the full level because it was filled with 1 gal. thanks bro. sana nga, ok lang ang engine ko. i checked other sites and found out there should be no gas/air pressure coming out from the dipstick tube. sa akin eh, meron. may hangin talaga lumalabas pag check ko ngayong umaga. ill take this car for a compression test as others do suggest.

A gal or 4 liters of motor oil is almost above the max line including filter which is F-512. added oil treatment means you have an excess of 500 ml which is more than it could take, sobra nga baka hindi pa na-drain maige yan. as a result not only splashing but will tend to break your seals at uusok pa yan.
Sayang….hindi baling below the max say 10-20% below wag lang lagpas.

[sboogie]

if your engine is on then that is just normal. thinner oils tend to splash, but it circulates more better than thicker oils.

[XTO]

check mo rin ang oil level but i think hindi yun ang cause ng splashing. haven't experienced it in 6 years with my xto. wait natin mga mahahaba / malalayo na exp sa 4ja-1.

If the oil flush was ran through the crankcase in order to clean the system, it's possible it was overfilled and could have overstressed the seals.

Another possibility is if there's too much oil, the residual oil in the oil pan might be too much so the crankshaft might be splashing on to the oil, allowing it to foam (?).

If you want to make sure your engine is fine, have the compression checked against standard figures for your specific engine and also check for any inconsistency.

You said malabnaw yung oil - does the car lose coolant/water? I hope it's not a headgasket/warped head problem. Have it checked na rin to be on the safe side since you don't know what really transpired.

Tumatalsik na oil or even blow by is not yet that serious to bring down the engine immediately. When it pumps oil or looses compression on one or more cylinders is serious.
This is very noticeable in diesel engines.

4ja1 din sa akin 7 years na hindi naman ganyan.

heeeeeeeeelllp!!!
too much oil is spewing out from my dipstick! oil splatters everywhere when i take off the stick while the engine's running. 1st time it happened to my xto.
my mechanic added STP in my last oil change last august. could this be the culprit? i was thinking that it could've ruined my oil rings.
will somebody shed light on me please? TIA happy new year!
