Discovered the Yaris dipstick was totally dry yesterday...
The Yaris is way up their in the mileage... I'm almost 360k. I recently had a check engine code show up for the maf (which I'm about to replace). Around the same I came to a hard stop and saw the oil light flicker - something I had never seen before.
Fearing the two lights were connected I plugged up the blue driver and discovered the check engine was only for a p0101 code which appears to be the MAF. I decided to check the oil out and found the dipstick was totally dry. I usually change at 7500 mile intervals with royal purple 5w30. I've never seen the light before though, the car has no leaks, and isn't smoking. Because I've recently bought a new car to take over for the Yaris given it's high mileage and the amount of driving I do ever day I was planning on an overhaul soon using a family mechanic - like next week so this is somewhat timely. I added some 5w30 and it took about 1.5+ quarts to register on the dipstick again. The car behaved fine before and afterwards - but I was fairly alarmed. I had the misfortune of using a new shop for the last oil change. Do you guys think they under-filled it?? Could I have burned through that much oil without a giant smoke cloud behind the car?? |
