At least the salt is off

Yeah, thats exactly what I was worried about. For not being hand washed it looks really good. Wish it would stay that way.

Put gas in it. Then started it. Then it told me on my DIC to, "Stop Engine." So I thought, Ummmm that's weird. It then proceeds to say, "Low oil pressure."

Let the yelling begin..

Also I was an hour and a half from home and an hour and a half from my parents which is where I was headed.. It's been a fun day.

CapnBreakAlot strikes again

check your oil more often lol. speaking of witch i need to check the vans oil lol

That reminds me installing oil pressure gauge should be on my list of things to do.....eventually

why wait do it now!!!

Crazy thing is.. I just changed the oil a week ago. Now it claims to have no oil pressure. I know it burns oil but 7.5 quarts in a week? I got it home and its going up in the air tomorrow to find out whats wrong with it now.

Got it back!

Hope the caddy is ok man

You put 7.5 quarts in it? It only takes 4.5.

I assume you fat fingered it and meant 4.5 in the first place, but just because you have oil doesn't mean you will have oil pressure. Oil pump failure or bearing wear will cause low oil pressure.

It's a 99 Eldorado. N*'s take 7-8 quarts.

Ah, makes sense.

Either way, the second post stands.

It was out of oil. I just don't understand how it could have lost 7.5 quarts in a week.. It'll be in the air tomorrow so i'll check for leaks. I know it burns oil but not that much lol.

Maybe someone stole your oil its ridiculous sounding but hay who knows

They must have broke into my garage to do that then lol. I don't know.. We'll see tomorrow.

Maybe its cause u put 7.5 quarts in. My GXP doesn't even take that much

Northstars take 7.5 quarts to get in the middle of the safe range. They'll take 8 safely, then burn a quart every 3k. Or more if it leaks a lot, which they all do. They're much happier leaking.

O my bad...I was thinking it twas a GP lol
