haha me to:lol:
how was the term "oil gremlins" used? you were low on oil and someone said it??

[morbidgorilla]

i'm guessing erratic loss of oil or oil pressure, perhaps?

[TurboRush]

Or maybe the unexplained loss when there is no indication you are burning it or leaking it?

"Oil Gremlins"...where...engine/trans?

[GC4-RS]

i dont have them apparently but it was in regard to another thread where the guy mentioned removing the "oil gremlins" as preventitive maintenance

how does one go about doing this

[morbidgorilla]

its easy just do the following steps
1: park car over small pile of leaves
2: wait till small pile of leaves is combusted by aftermarket headers (or stock ones with removed heat shields)
3: arm self with you favored instrument of blunt trauma and club the little buggers when they seek egress via hood scoop

I know it sounds cruel but its OK! they taste like baby seals

How bad is it? a qt per 5k miles? Subaru's (especially turbos) burn oil. Part of it is the flat 4 design.

[GC4-RS]

but thanks to everyone who posted useful/useless clues lol

I don't do that parking lot/street racing ****:spin:I track it.
I'm friends with a few subie techs and they all say its normal for the loss in oil and that its nothing to worry about:unamused:

[-=The Boss=-]

parking lot = auto cross.

I have been know to run a dude down on the street :o

[Kevin]

I burn a little depending on how I drive.

I've been hearing good things about the german castrol not burning off like mobil 1 does.

I've been hearing good things about the german castrol not buring off like mobil 1 does.
I hear this also and think it silly. I mean is german castrol > US castrol? :spin:

[Kevin]

ya I guess the german stuff is wayyyy better then the us oil.

on iwsti all the oil threads I have read come down to german castroll in the winter and rotella in the summer.

[-=The Boss=-]

Oh now weather is a factor?

What weight?

[Subygirl8330]

[GC4-RS]
