if i were 2-3 qts low on oil would my car run hot?

also how do i tell if there is coolat in the oil??

 

Yeah from the engine starting to fail.

White milky film in the oil

 

Ouch 2-3 qt's low? Can you say blueing of the E shaft. Premature wear of the rotor bearings, and possible rotor to rotr housing contact.. Never let it get that LOW...

 

One time my oil had some kind of condensation in it. It wasnt white but the oil was watery when I took the fill cap off. Just a few drops of clear crap. Kinda smelt like fuel?
Does anyone know whats up?

 

it ended up taking only 1.5 quarts of oil

 

Yeah, water in oil is normally not a bad thing. Lots of water in it is bad. But oil does get some water. When you get the oil hot this water comes out and condensates somewhere. On the top of your filler cap is one place.

I've only changed the oil in my RX-7 once, and it smelled like fuel. This is pretty normal for an RX-7, right? What exactly causes it to smell like this?
