if you lost 5+ quarts of oil, it must have been spraying out under pressure.nismopath wrote:Thanks a lot. I just saw the replies but will look it up today at work.
A couple this I noticed yesterday though..
There were three separate small areas of oil laying in the driveway. I would belive that is from different spits I parked the car, not that all three leaked at the same time. Although I could be wrong. I looked uder the car and all around the oil pan, fender and bottom plate were all covered in oil. It almost seemed lIke oil had exploded. I also went to tighten the oil filter and although it looked fine, it still had some hand turn to it. Very strange because I always go back the day after a change and retighten if needed. And worse of all, no oil at all in the engine.
I will still look up what you suggested but do you think it could be based on the oil filter coming loose? If so why! Haha that is just odd. And would you recommend thicker weight oil than 5w30 for this next change being the coldest months for us ?
