Hi, last week i started hearing knocking on my engine but only like in 1st and 2nd gear was pretty loud. but when in 3rd and above no noise. So i checked and somehow my oil had all disappeared or almost. only had like 1quart left. so i refilled it and the knocking mostly went away, but i'll hear it still in 1st and 2nd gear when above 3000rpm. My dad believes it's the lifter that gets emptied and does that noise.
I've added a can of wynn's motor tune up thingy hoping it would help the noise go away but doesnt seem to change much. well at 180 000 miles i dont wanna spend lots of money on it. but id still like to fix it so the car can last me another year or 2 then get a much newer one ((this one is a 98gt))
As to why the oil went away i can only assume it might be due to the problem i had this winter, went a couple of month trying to figure out the leak in the prestone and found it was right above the spark plug (the one hard to reach cyl4?) and this spring this one sort of died so i got the misfire issue. replaced the plug and it was full of mud/prestone in there, cleaned as best i could. and was fine after. And since im bad at checking my oil well i only guess it got burned or something in that cylinder that wasnt firing?
Oh well... any thoughts?
