Oil disappears ... - Toyota Starlet, 1.3L, 1999

There is such garbage in my typewriter ... The oil just disappears somewhere ... It does not flow, we checked it. The service station said that this is normal for this type of oil. But is it okay that I checked, refilled 2 weeks ago ... Yesterday I looked, it turned out that there it was completely on the bottom ... there was a little bit of it on the dipstick ... I thought maybe the car was still warm or stood unevenly, but in the morning I checked, it turned out the same. I had to top up ...
In general, apparently, a visit to the service station is guaranteed to me ... If there was someone who could help me. Just a pity there are no such people ... sad ...

I have 35,000 mileage per year))) I change regardless of the season, purely by mileage ...

There are always a lot of advisers, especially in the workshops they would only get money. Because the oil changes more often, the car will not become newer and it will not get worse if once a year, you do not run 30-40 thousand a year. So why? Maybe someone else will say that you also need to change for the winter, so the oil is designed for any temperature from minus to plus. Just see which table is suitable for your climatic zone.

I pour it semi-synthetics ... well, that's how they advise and change, the car is still not new ...

Well, I'm far from the turbo))) already drove 10500 without changing the oil… so the day after tomorrow I'm going to change the food. I bought a filter today)

How many I read and constantly amazes me, where do your dealers get such numbers that after 7 thousand oil change. I have studied a lot of literature and everywhere costs from 15 to 20 thousand mileage or 1 year. It's just that they have you in an impudent way.
And the oil is better to pour synthetics or semi-synthetics recommended by the manufacturer (in the book it is)

well, on a turbo car, you need to change it every 4-5 thousand

why change it so often?

P

mmmm, so you need to change the oil more often 8)

I managed to change 3 or 4 times in six months already 8)

Well, it turns out that one package for topping is enough for me for about half a year. (I can't say the volume of the package now)

well, preferably on some kind of German (Liquid Moth, Fuchs, Mobile) or the original Toyota, but you never said how many liters you add?

well, sometimes I can add a little once a month, I can add a lot more once every 2 weeks ... when it seems like it does not smoke ... castrol 10/40 oil

well, for starters, change the oil from castrol to something more decent

tin ... at the outlets I drive to the service station ...

the option may be that the oil is figarite in gasoline, if there are no visible smudges, and this is already fraught with replacing the rings, or even the groove of the block

Not a couple of gramules ... but it remains right on the bottom ...

stasseff 05.12.20

well, if a little is a couple of grams, then this is quite normal =)))

and how often does the oil go? Does it smoke with a working engine and what kind of oil do you fill?

I have already traced one person… I sold the car in the end, I ate more oil on the highway than expected. the engine knocked.

N
Nightdream 05.12.20

no, you just need to follow better ...

S

is actually very dangerous. quickly go to the service station. in the worst case, you can stay without the engine.

N

well, I've been checking for 3 days every morning ... all the rules ...

Mileage gives its ... This problem can be cured by decoking, if it does not help, then just climb into the engine. Change caps, rings ...
