After how many miles should one change the oil? my car seems to go 2000 miles before the light comes on. is it normal or seems to be a problem?>

 

How long to go before changing it? 2500 miles or less

How long to go before adding more?? I think it's 1 qt per 1000-1500 miles because of the turbos consuming oil, could be wrong though.

What light comes on? The "OIL" dummy light or the light that's on the oil pressure gauge?

 

The red light on oil pressure gauge comes on

 

It could be your oil pressure sending unit. They've been known to go bad.

 

the light should not come on!

 

The light does not come on when i change the oil. it only comes on after 1500-2500 miles after changing the oil

 

It's a good idea to check your oil often. Every day wouldn't be a bad idea...

 

yeah...that's BAD that your oil pressure light comes on. Do you have an aftermarket oil pressure gauge?

 

No what im worried about is that my apex seals have leaked. I mean is 2000 miles enough for oil to drop low or is there a leak somewhere

 

umm...If your "apex seals" leak, then you have a blown engine. No questions asked...

 

Does your car smoke in any way?

 

Ya my car emits some urburned fuel and black smoke

 

How does your car start? Does it sputter on or does it start automatically? Also, do you have an aftermarket boost gauge? The needle should be steady. If it wiggles, then you may have a blown engine...but I don't think you do.

 

These cars consume oil(injects oil into the combustion chhamber). If you are waiting for the light to come on to check your oil you are ruining your engine. Check the oil often an fill add more when needed.
