[QUOTE="netmatrix, post: 2208626, member: 217"] This one is when the engine is just turned off. When the oil is still in the passages and in the the head. Which is correct. In other terms when the engine is hot. If it is cold, the level should be at F. It looks like you are burning oil. But first off, you use a very weird viscocity range. 20-40. Starts off thick and only till 40? Usually we get high performace oils in 10-50 or 15-60. And mid range ones 10/15-40 and low daily driver 20-50. I suspect the oil isn't that good. You should stick to 10/15-40. If you think your engine is still good. If over 5 years without overhaul, then should use 20-60. Engine oil doesn't go missing without a reason. Usually leaks or from the pistons. Low smoke at idle doesn't mean there is no leaks. When you high rev, assuming the stock engine is running lean, then engine oil leak is hardly visible. Unless you have bad spark plugs then you can see the white smoke easily. Maybe you want to do a compression test and see if there are leaks in the piston rings. Seals and gasket leaks are usually easy to spot. Usually there is residue or dust that sticks to it. FYi there are newer generation engine oils either mineral or synthetic that reduces smoke. I can tell you that i actually found one that does that. [/QUOTE]
