kbakshi Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hi Folks I am an owner of ES300 '97 - 92K miles and lately it has been eating engine oil. When I get my engine oil changed - about 1 - .5 quart is missing. Also when I measure oil between my oil chnages I see 1-.5 quart missing. Any ideas as to what should I do? What may be wrong?

Lexusfreak Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Yup, you just might have a sluddged or gelled engine. Do a search on engine gelling & you will learn more. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Noack ratings are low as 5 and other over 16! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Bad rings, ultra worn valve stem seals. Plus every external oil seal if you look at the bottom of the car between the wheels & see little oil drips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
