Oil

[mrvdv85]

Hey all
just wondering whats the best things to replace where you check the dip stick and the oil is like 2cm registering then it goes down a bit at a time? my oil is about half a half a cm but cant find any leaks.

if there are no visable leaks then your engine is burning oil

if this is the case then it's time for a rebuild

if you can see oil leaking then replace the gasket it's leaking from

Make a visible inspection and see if there is anywhere noticable leaking oil. ie. Transmission/Sump etc.

If there is no visible leaks than like what dyno suggested it may be that the engine is burning oil, if thats the case I would take it to a mechanic before it does any excessive damage.

for those wondering, half a half a cm is usually known as a quarter of a cm or 25mm.

25 mm is a quarter of 10 cm

2.5 mm is a quarter of a cm

2.5 mm is a quarter of a cm
