hey guys, quick question:
I just recently checked my oil and it was wayyyyyyy low (still had excellent oil pressure though).
well, I added a quart of oil and the level was where it should be. So I ran the car a bit and checked the oil while the engine was running and it was wayyyyyyy too high. Also, ever since I added the extra but of oil the car has been smoking something horrible when I'm stopped and reallly smokes (into the passenger compartment too) when I kill the car .
I'm about to drain the oil and measure it.....but shouldn't the oil level be LOWER when the engine is running? I know my dipstick's never really been reliable...so that could have something to do with it.
