Could be leaking Transmission Fluid.
No, but a lot more oil can cause other damage.
there are two dip sticks in the engine bay.. one is yellow the other is red... REd is for Transmission fluid...and Yellow is for Engine oil
Adding too much oil will cause your engine to burn off the excessive oil which causes a lot of carbon buildup in your engine and a lot of blue smoke out your tailpipe. If the oil level is high enough, it can contact the crankshaft and foam up. If the oil foams it can damage the engine.
One dipstick is used for engine oil and one is used for the transmission oil. The engine oil is generally yellow and the transmission oil is usually red.
There is not a whole lot of difference if you are using the oil in an older diesel engine. The diesel oil of today has special additives to combat the soot buildup in the oil from the EGR. The diesel oil will get dirty a lot sooner on the late model engines. A 15w40 for a gas engine can be used in a diesel.
lack of oil,faulty oil pressure switch or worn engine
one sing can says a lot: check in your oil cap, if you find some oil sludge, its a big revelation that you have oil sludge problem in the engine
1989 Chrysler Lebaron 2.5 engine and you get a lot of oil in your air cleaner compartment what is causing this
if you mean you ran out of oil and your engine seized, then no... you'll need to buy a new engine block. It will be expensive and it will cost a lot in labor too.
No, the check engine light has nothing to do with the oil level in the vehicle. The check engine light will come on when there is a problem with the emission system. The red oil warning light will come on if your vehicle is low on oil.
A four cycle engine does not use a gas/oil mixture. The oil is in the crankcase and the gas goes in the gas tank. If you put oil in the gas on a 4 cycle engine it will run poorly and smoke a lot.
This is an indication that there is not sufficient oil in the engine ! Driving could cause the engine to cease, in the worst case it would then be scrap.
