hey guys, im pretty sure youve all gotten this thread before, well here goes. Ive had my 1993 mr2 turbo for about a month and a half its got 80000 on the engine. Yesterday i noticed a drop in performance and looked at my oil that i replaced a month ago. It was completly empty. no leaks it all burned up. my friend also was behind me and he said he saw a little bit of smoke come out of my exhaust shifting from 1st to 2nd. since yesterday ive burned up a half a quart. Someone pls give me a little help before i get a compression check.

The most common reason for this that I have seen is piston rings going bad. Anyone that can confirm this?

loss of oil could be due to many things. leaking gasket(s) or oil line, worn rings, worn valve seals, a leak some where else. if it were rings I would think you would be seeing blue smoke all the time. run a compression test and that will tell you if it's the rings..

don't your warning lights work??...your oil level light should have came on..then the red one for low oil pressure...

Did you get the car for an unreasonably good deal? If you've had it less than a month, you might want to talk to the seller and see what they have to say.

my oil sensor is broken off, and my oil pressure light did come on, and i got the car for 10000, the previous seller was a old man who i doubt ragged on it, but he did say it leaked a little oil. but not as much as i know im burning. turbo sounds a little wierd now that i thik about it. i live up in harford county.
