gasy smell in the oil

Bill · April 17th, 2006, 12:13 PM

is this normal for the oil to smell like is has a little gasy(fuel) smell to it.

Well, their both petroleum based... there would be no way to get fuel into your crankcase in a fuel injected car unless you've got a leaky injector. If in doubt, change the oil.

Bill · April 17th, 2006, 01:01 PM

or by running a 160 degree thermostat...

Bill · April 17th, 2006, 01:03 PM

i dont know what thermostats in it. im guessing what ever stock is. this car is pretty much all stock except for flowmaster mufflers and knn filter and random stuff i replaced on it but no performance stuff.

I was somehow getting oil in the gas, so bad that when I was pulling a camper, it would jump/almost not run, I changed the oil, and problem went away, then I sold the truck. I am sure it was some kind of sensor or something that was causing th issue, but no one could identify the problem.

it sounds like a bad piston ring

that would be my guess 2

A bad piston ring would have worse issues than a little bit of gas in the oil.

173speed · April 17th, 2006, 09:25 PM

what color is the smoke ?

Bill · April 17th, 2006, 10:12 PM

when you really step on it you can see that the smoke has a blue to it. and i also know that i get alittle oil in the egr spacer.

173speed · April 18th, 2006, 09:11 PM

does it use oil ? i think that u are burning oil hens the blue smoke maybe do a compression test on it and see in what condition the valve seals and piston rings are

Bill · April 18th, 2006, 09:39 PM

well i havent really drove it in a while but i lose most of the oil cause of the bad oil pan gasket and bad rear main seal. when i do drive it it drives pretty good. IDK. i wish i had a place to work on it tho.

99mustang232 · April 19th, 2006, 03:10 PM

the burning of oil on startup could be bad valve guides/seals?

Bill · April 19th, 2006, 03:16 PM

so it would be a good idea to get the motor rebuilt or get a new long or short block.
