| Description of the problem | I was driving home from work, and as i was coming to a stop i heard a warning ding, looked down, and my dashboard read "low engine oil pressure." i found that warning odd considering i have only put 2,000 miles on my car since my last oil change, i have not noticed any oil leaks in my parking spot or under my car, and i had my transmission serviced four weeks ago and there was no mention of any leaks by the service technician. I pull into the walmart parking lot close by, check my oil, and oil levels are not registering on my dipstick. I quickly bought 2 quarts of the manufacturers recommended weight of oil, put them in, and went directly to my service station. The service station took me in immediately, completed their inspection, and they informed me that they cannot find any leaks anywhere. In addition, there are no bad smells, no smoke, no signs of oil burning, nothing. They recommended an oil change, which i did. The service station gave me a 50% discount on the service because it was only 2 months and 2,000 miles since i was last there for an oil change. The mechanic suggested that i keep a case of oil in my trunk, check the oil level once a week, and add oil as needed. I think this is a lot of oil consumption, and a lot of work for such a young vehicle. My car is a 2007 toyota camry xle 4 cylinder with 79,004 miles as of 21 april 2015. |
