Your 2.0L takes more than my 5.7? You must have a turbo/supercharger

My 5.7L takes 7qts of oil, the 2.0 I DD takes 4.6qts.

4 qts of oil, 1 cup of rubber cement?

Or just do some 50 weight....quiets engine noise and stop leaks, just cranks hard as a mother fucker.

4age.....mmmmm

I had a redtop in my AW11 and I planned a 4age blacktop swap in my Corolla but it never fell through

AW11!!!! Thats what I have :D Mines got over 200k, did a new O2 sensor, air filter, plugs and wires today, runs like new (except for the valve cover gasket that spews oil) and I managed 38MPG round trip for a 100 miles today, awesome little engines!!

Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT > Milky
08/18/2014 at 22:07

Mine uses oil made of babies blood, so mine costs more.

And I change mine every 3 thousand miles or less....oh and every other oil change I have to change gear oil.....fuckmylife.

My old NA consumed none, well the stockish one.

The Supercharged was another story....

08/18/2014 at 22:12

2.0 TDI with 3 pedals! Sadly not brown :( I think your oil capacity to displacement is because the Cobalts have a deep oil pan... perfect for hitting rocks or bottoming out on >:D

mcseanerson > Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT
08/18/2014 at 22:12

1.8l 4 quarts. I got 230k miles and I'm 1k into my latest oil change and it's still coming out caramel colored. I love it.

Milky > Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT
08/18/2014 at 22:12

Your car is modded right … is that why you change it so often?

Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT > pfftballer
08/18/2014 at 22:13

I did 50 weight in a few cars to sell.....it worked til the next oil change. the winter just made it super hard to start, and usually needed a jump to get enough power to the starter to get it to turn the oil

BKRM3 > Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT

S65B40 - 4.0L. Takes 9 liters of 10W-60, full synthetic, of course

Scary__goongala! > Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT
08/18/2014 at 22:16

supercharged NA...noice. I haven't noticed anything out of the exhaust pipe and I don't smell anything burning haha

Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT > Sportwägen, Driver Of The Red Sportwagen
08/18/2014 at 22:17

Mine isn't the original engine lol

Mine is an A20NFT if you google that it mgiht return some information.

Butttttt long story shourt I have a super rare engine with a super deep pan, but the pan is stock.

The regular engine had 5qt pan.

And Take that to a dealer to be APR tuned......everyone is curious

BKRM3 > BKRM3

By the way it's $14.50 per liter. M3 problems.

Sportwägen, Driver Of The Red Sportwagen > Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT
08/18/2014 at 22:18

Ah, and no. I'm 17, I have no money, and it is my first car so I'd like to keep it completely stock :)

pfftballer > Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT
08/18/2014 at 22:19

Yeah my dad tells me stories about my grandfather being the only one in town to understand this back in the 1950s. He said on a cold winter day he was the only one who could start his car because he was the only one who changed is oil out to a lighter viscosity when the season turned. Everyone thought he was some kind of wizard or master mechanic. He was just a really sharp foundry worker, but his son became an engineer, and his grandson designs artificial limbs. ;)

Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT > Milky
08/18/2014 at 22:19

That's why I change it often, I also tear apart oil filters checking for metal....cause I'm anal about that stuff.

Mostly the reason I change it is because the high pressure fuel pumps in the Cobalts and any direct injection car leak fuel into the oil, and i have panic attacks that fuel is in my oil thinning it out like a 30 year old hair line.

The Safari with the 4.3L V6 takes 4.5 quarts of oil.

That feels low to me.

Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT > Sportwägen, Driver Of The Red Sportwagen
08/18/2014 at 22:21

Dammit....it technically is factory lol

I know a few people at the VW dealer who want to see the APR tuned TDI

Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
08/18/2014 at 22:21

That is pretty low lol

Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT > Scary__goongala!
08/18/2014 at 22:23

I never smelt any either, but it burned a bit, nothign spectacular, like a quart per thousand miles.

Scary__goongala! > Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT
08/18/2014 at 22:24

Don't matter regardless, so fun to drive

Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT > Scary__goongala!

I always had a smile on my face when I drove mine, even in the rain with no top wearing a trashbag.....

At work this summer for Enterprise I parked mine in a place where I always had to pass it in the lot. Just made the wait for the drive home that much better.

deekster_caddy > Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT
08/18/2014 at 22:27

my first car was a 72 MGB that had sat outside with the cylinder head removed for nearly a decade. Not knowing better, i used a brass scraper and a lot of oil and managed to get most of the rust out of the cylinders and get the engine turning again. It ran, and I had to add about 2 quarts for every tank of gas, so I never changed the oil in it.

Amidoingitright?

Mine had 65k on it when I got it the summer before last. I still technically own it but its location is not known....

Great engine, great car

Trunk Impaired 318 > Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT

Ouch, and 65k?!?!? Thats borderline abuse and neglect!!

Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT > Trunk Impaired 318
08/18/2014 at 22:33

It was garaged all its life, it was an 87 i think.

The whole sale thing was sketchy, I parked it, went to see it one day and it was gone.

the key was hidden in it, so I assume it was moved somewhere better by someone with good intentions,

Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT > Trunk Impaired 318

In all honesty shit happens, I drove the car, I ran the piss out of it, I just hope whereever it is no it is beign enjoyed.

I never got to drive it daily, but I got to it at least once a week or so

Trunk Impaired 318 > Nick, Drives a Cobalt LT

I love my Coupe for that reason, people assume its cramped, I can take my lady for rides, we can go out on dates with no issue, if we have kids I do have room for them.

I actually have no idea what my SHO takes, (might be good to know, any one who does know how much oil a '91 SHO Taurus takes, please do tell,) but I do know that the JPS takes 13 liters of oil in its 2.8 V6 because of the remote oil filter, HUGE oil cooler and turbo.
