car smoke .. too much oil?
after i ran my car really hard today .. i realized it had no oil in it (dip stick says empty) .. and when im in a dead stop and go from 1000 to 3000 rpms in first i can hear some grinding noise .. im thinking its due to the lack of engine oil .. so later i fill it with 20w50 (4 quarts) .. noise went away .. i think its 3.5 quarts for the rx7? (not positive on this one) .. anyways i run it hard again .. to see if i can feel a difference between 10w30 ad 20w50 .. and i notice my car is smoking from under the hood .. i just fixed this problem too .. before it was due to the rubber coupler that goes between the crossover tube and the ypipe .. sorry for the essay .. i guess my question is .. is it because i put too much oil into it and somehow its just burning all the excess oil? also im a retard i didnt drain the oil before i put in the 4 quarts .. cause the dip stick said it was on E .. also i have a stock exahust .. and i noticed it (the exhaust) was smoking as well .. its kinda chilly out so that might be the reaso for the exhaust smoke .. but it pretty much smells like burning oil
