Hey y’know oil? Important for cars to run. Somehow without leaving a puddle or smoking my Miata ate 3.5 of its 4 quarts of oil. This is what a BP-Z3 sounds like running on half a quart.
Absolutely no noises whatsoever after putting some new oil in it. Going to swap filters tomorrow, cut open the old one and see how it is. I’ll be checking the PCV valve to see if it’s clogged or something and checking the plugs to see if they give me any clues. If the engine lasts another 1000 miles I’ll send some oil off for analysis and see what I get back. Here’s hoping it’s not the end of my ‘02 SE.
If there’s metal in the filter, in the oil, or any glooming idea that this engine will soon bite the big one I’ll probably take it to Carmax or something and see what they’ll give me for it as auction value, since at the moment it’s running fine with no noises.

I don’t understand why all manufacturers don’t have oil level sensors like BMW.

I am going to be so sad if your SE doesn’t make it. Like, seriously heartbroken. *crosses fingers*

It’s certainly saved me a couple of times when I’ve been neglected checking it for too long.

I’m paranoid enough about it I check fluids regularly (especially on cars that use/leak them) but of all the nonsense they shove into cars these days, an oil level switch would actually make sense.
