That appears to be the general consensus. I don't replenish my oil between changes. My Nissan has just turned over 83,000. Must admit that it makes one a bit blasé, but I check it anyway. |

Just because it doesn't reach the FULL mark on the dip stick when you're at the petrol station is no reason to put more oil in. When the car sits overnight and all of the oil has drained into the sump, the level will then be above the full mark and the car probably will burn oil. If the level is above the MIN mark when hot that's OK. |

Toyota NZ is replacing the "scoured" block and pistons. just a guess here but i think that could have been caused by oil starvation? from a possible assembly fault? anyway good to here they are going to sort it out for ya :D |

It turned out that a conrod had not been cleaned properly after being cast and a little piece was left on, which stuck out cms beyond the edge of the piston and scored the bore. :) |

Terry is a good example of that,up tp 80% of his creations worked. |
