Guys, have anyone ever encountered rising engine oil level?

when checking engine level this morning, condition cold, level ground as usual, the dip shows engine oil is much higher than 2 days ago when I checked.
radiator checked, no leakage of radiator liquid.

what's wrong? fuel?

sounds like driveshaft, ever check?

It's like 5mm higher than last time reading, 2 days ago.
I suspected petrol mix into it. No solid evidence yet. but I checked just now in afternoon, it backs to normal.

checked through net, found this :
""""-In certain cases, the oil level may have risen since the last time you checked. This could be due to condensed water (from combustion), condensed fuel or a coolant leak - all are causes for concern.
-Fuel-diluted motor oil (from blow-by or leakage) can substantially reduce oil viscosity and thin additive concentration. The odor of diesel fuel can often be detected right from the dipstick.
-Free and emulsified water is harmful to the oil and the engine. For short-trip drivers, water condensation may be more acute if your engine has the flexible fuel vehicle (FFV) option and you are burning an alcohol-gasoline fuel blend. It is important to remember that combustion produces water in your engine - more water than the fuel consumed. Most of the water goes out the tailpipe, but if the engine is cool, much of it may condense in the crankcase.
-A simple way to detect water in used motor oil is to put a drop of oil from the dipstick on a hot exhaust manifold. If it crackles (sounds like bacon frying) this is an indication of water contamination. Beware that there is some risk that the drop of oil may catch fire.
-Brand new automobiles imported from Japan may have a high oil level due to short-run engine starts (as many as 50) required when the vehicle is transported from the assembly plant, across the ocean, and finally to the dealer’s lot. In this case, an oil and filter change may be merited.
-Coolant leak is a serious problem relating to high oil level. See Lesson No. 5.
Whatever the cause of the high oil level, the condition needs to be quickly corrected.
Note: accidental overfilling oil into your engine can cause problems too. As the crankshaft rotates it will churn the oil, causing aeration and eventually sustained foam may form. This can lead to overheated motor oil, oxidation and a loss of oil pressure. Spongy aerated oil is hard to pump. It starves the engine and critical lubricated surfaces."""""

So I guess it fuel mix, as no contamination in my radiator.

Added on July 30, 2012, 2:56 pmYou have every reason to change the car even if it is 5months old

few common causes led to vibration at high speed
: 1, uneven tyres (includes imbalance tyre),
2, deformed rims,
3, problematic absorber and
4, drive shaft issue.

as you noted there is tak tak tak when you threw your car into corner, 1 and 2 are irrelevant, I have no experience in 3

4 is safer guess and also I had experienced when the ball joint gao dim liao.

sifu-sifu should be able to give you mroe accurate answer.

Thanks.

Really? I always check the oil level, morning before depart.
interesting suggestion but 20 minutes of precious sleeping time is not joking

I mean early in the morning, I would prefer to sleep longer time rather than start and wait it cool down gauge the oil.

casue no one really knows what's burning. for carb, think it is rather easy car to maintain, just that fuel consumption is higher.

repeat the thing again and drive to work shop, show them white smoke. burning not completed? piston ring, valve seal, all possible if not more causes

Added on August 1, 2012, 10:07 amone notable thing that I have done prior to that morning oil check was that I opened up the hood and let the cold air cool the engine down a bit b4 going to sleep, then discovered the oil level rises much next morning, so i think the oil drop to bottom

anyway, after 200KM + drive yesterday, it came back to normal level.

erm.. i drove it today.. maybe i was imagining things. It's ok now. everything normal. haha

=.=.. i aso duno i got kena potong or not. lol..

change oil filter, engine oil, clean TB, and the air intake thingy, change spark plugs, refill anti rust coolant.

all for rm 130.



what engine oil your car using? sounds like reasonable pricing

Guess you are if you are VDO as like me.
where's your location ?

VDO, TB cleaning thing (spray some red colour detergent, brush, air dry) + plug in that handheld device, deleted some error code, if not mistaken, he charged me RM60. Cost RM60-RM80 in JB.


I guess RM300 for :
engine oil change including labour + point checking/ services (you can do at home lah) + TB cleaning
if only he give me branded (Shell, Mobil, Petronas, Havoline, Castrol, Idemitsu and etc) fully synthetic oil, also depends how trust-able that shop is, rumors are that some shops selling fake oil.

Kindly refer to post 304, by “salimbest83”

cause my 1.5 3speed A is also very different from your 1.6

Changed RM180 to RM200 per side for 1.5.
I heard there are China made new driveshaft and recond type (joints are new only). not really sure about the market prevailing type.

local, which mean recond type from sparepart shop loh

how do you guys play the game ? I'm driving VDO and normal crank shaft pulley, can play?

LOL, sorry for the crakshaft pulley, hahaha, guess it doesn't have aftermarket/ performance alternative version of crankshaft pulley

I saw some commercial info stating, the camshaft pulley must equipped with rubber to cushion the vibration, that's why some LCP like "mythelogy" is costing 500-600. Any comment?

felt lucky for you, it's darn dangerous, I had such experience and never want to try again, would need to claim insurance if anything happen.

Added on August 27, 2012, 7:21 pmI'm also very interested on this chassis alignment thing. How much roughly it cost?any idea? why?
quite rare to hear about it.

yup, fuel hose connected to throttle body, inside engine bay, heavy petrol odor when driving, went to pawn shop get one, RM30, install RM10

Added on August 29, 2012, 1:01 pmI saw racetech facebook selling for 170 i guess, but no installation, is installation expensive?

Added on August 29, 2012, 1:02 pmthere are many selling in lowyat, how you notice your VS not stable?

CAK can be reused?
Yours is new set is it? why sell it off?

Added on August 30, 2012, 7:53 pmI'm having problem with the braided hose on the left, notice fuel leaking out of my car.



not sure about carburetor wira

drive shaft kong already.
planning to change both sides, new DS (not recond one!) only comes from CHina now, there's one brand name GSP, so looks like I'm going to settle for that.

also, changing DS oil seal, I heard there are different kind varies from premium quality to soso quality. the most common one is NOK, below RM10, however I was introduced to another type, cost near to RM20 one pcs (ex workmanship), not really sure which one to take up.

Both sides, same price RM150 each. Bought from spare part shop excluding installation.

workshop will quote you 180 to 220, but please make sure they get new DS for you, there are quite a few brands according to my 4man friend, there are also re-cond type outside, they change the joint and use back the rod, to me, it's waste of time, energy and money.
Make sure your workshop won't do this.
