 Subject: Oil Change Mystery
IP: Logged
Message:
This past weekend I did an oil change on my 99 Dak 5.2L SLT. It was a little overdue for the change (5200 miles) but I was not very concerned. The truck has been sitting since 1/1/05 because I have been driving the wife's car to and from work. The Dakota only got driven on Fridays and sometimes on Saturdays. There were no real problems with the oil change except when it came time for clean up.
While putting the old oil back into the quarts, I noticed that I only pulled 2.5qts of old oil out, but put 5 in.
The real question is...Where did the other oil go?
I also replaced the EGR valve (old one was not bad). There is no oil in the coolant and no oil dripping on my drive way. My only thought is that I have finally blown the head gasket and it is sucking in oil slowly over the miles.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm assuming you checked the oil after the change and it's full and not over full?
Another option to leaking is burning. Any difference in exhaust color? smell?
