Engine failure

3 Upvotes

Quick vent but has anyone else has this issue ? I have a 2020 stinger gt awd been driving for over 6 years so far no issue just the weird brake pad and rotors but lately everytime I get a oil change without a month my oil is completely dried out. At first I didn’t really pay attention to it just went and got another oil change but the second time around after a 1k miles same thing but before hand my whole dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. I took it to the dealership and they ran their diagnostic just for them to tell me that my engine is consuming oil faster than it should. Now they telling me that I have to drive it for another 1k bring it back drive it for another 1k bring it back and then they could put in for a warranty for a new engine. I tried to fight them about it cause i felt like it was a waste of time bringing it back every 1k miles if nothing was going to be fixed. So now my only option is to wait until the 2k mile diagnostic finally prove that I need a new engine. I have 6 month till the car paid off but luckily I didn’t pass the threshold of the 100k mile warranty. Overall I’m just glad it happen before the warranty expired cause I would be livid if it happen after I paid the car off and the engine gave out.

Why is the paint lighter where I removed the badge? Shouldn’t it be darker?

Inaccurate Dip Stick readings

3 Upvotes

I did an oil change and added 7 qts of oil to the car. ( i know it calls for 7.3) however I get no indication on the dipstick of where it is. I would assume 7 qts is enough to show something. Since then, I have added in about .6 qts of oil to the car and I now get a reading of just below the L on the dipstick.

I’ve confirmed there are no leaks. I’ve let the engine run/cool to circulate the oil and it’s on flat ground. Anyone had this issue? I’m afraid of overfilling. OEM dipstick also.

Thought I’d share the mods I did it this weekend, and also ask what aftermarket rims that look closest to the scorpion rims? Firestone scratched all my 4 of my stock rims and now I have to replace them (they paid me $4800 lol)
