Why can't people understand this?

 

u must be missing the point of this thread?

 

Oh, weren't we trying to answer this question from the OP?
My answer (as well as wilksoner's): yes.

 

would a oil pressure guage solve this issue?

 

Not really. You'll still have oil pressure even with 2 quarts. It's the thermal capacity of that oil and the volume used at higher RPM that will still kill your motor if you run low.

Some cars have built in oil level lights. Now that's a good idea. Works like the TPS sensors in our tires. Oil gets to the bottom of the good range and a light on the dash comes on.

 

whats the lil check oil light respond to then? or dont we have one? I thought we did haha

 

well i dont post much here but here is my story. i had a fully built Sti got rid of it for the G35 06 coupe(kinda regretting it). after about 6 months i heard some weard noises coming from the engine. the dealer said that the oil was low how much i asked and he said all of it. i got my oil changed 3 weeks before that. this went on for 2 more months. so i wanted to know what was going on. in some of the rev-up motores the vacume line that is engaged by the exhaust valve can make it consume mass amounts of oil. i was lossing 2 and a half every 2 weeks. i had to fight with the company then went to the inf.corp. and finally got a new motor. you should be checking the oil every day, and yes the dip reads 1/4 form full the dealer should of told you that.

 

That stinks I am gonna go check mine right now

 

how does the noise sound?

 

my car was makin some noise which became alot more prominent over a weeks span...it ended up being oil that the stupid fkin infiniti dipstick read that i didnt need.

 

I believe it responds to low oil pressure, not level. You will still have pressure when your oil is very low, just not enough oil to protect the engine at operating RPMs.

 

the noise that was coming was almost like a knocking, but not like DET. i know what that sounds like. if you are concerned then take it in but dont let them beat around the bush with valid and important details find out exactly what it is. good luck
