down a quart of oil

garydahl · October 25th, 2007, 01:19 AM

hello
I have a 2007 Mustang GT with 6000 miles on it now. I changed the oil at 2500 and at 5000 miles. This morning I checked my oil level and it was a quart down after about 1000 on the new oil! The only thing that happened different is that I did my first burnout at about 5000 rpm for about 15 seconds "power brake"

Do you guys have any Ideas?
I heard of oil collectors or something like that.
Thanks
Gary

Don't know

But if there isn't a reason for it. I would bring it into the dealer, it would still be under warranty.

a reason?

the burnout thing is a really bad idea IMHO beats the shit out of your car makes a mess and stinks, fun huge cloud of smoke though but it comes at a pretty high expense especially if your doing it in a newer stang. we used to do this to beater cars, I really have no idea why anyone would want to do that to their REAL CAR.

oh and if you still want to do it? I wouldn't post it on youtube, me and every other "informed"? mustang freak check that site before we drop big dough on any used car

a brake stand should not do anyharm at all! I did around 3 brake stands a week when i was driving my car! I say take it to the dealer, or it was just a bad read.(on a slope)

Yeah there ain't nothing wrong with it! I did it all the time when my car was an automatic! All it does is wear ur tire tread and burn some gas...
