using oil?

[tbowsaveo]

I put the magnaflow muffler on my aveo and now lately it has been reading a half quart low. sometimes a little more almost a quart. has anyone else had this problem with oil after adding a muffler.

They should have no effect on each other. Something else may have gotten screwed up at the same time you put it on

like what i didnt change anything else after that until i changed the oil this last time.

top it off... if you continue to lose oil, you have a problem

slow leak somewhere... but not caused by ur muffler

[TrickyAveo]

Maybe the muffler bearing is going bad. Just /Joking

Check oil pan and filter for leaks. Maybe theres a small leak around one of them.

hope you find the problem

good luck

maybe something happened when you did this....
"Instead of doing an egine swap i got a 1.6 block and bought pistons and a crank for the aveo and then connecting rods for a 1.6 Nissan motor along with cams and lifters and the picked up a head for an aveo at Autozone and built the motor with a few other essentials from Nissan and Chevy and the motor makes 115HP and 108ft. lBs of torgue. havent put it in the car yet but dynoed it on a engine dyno and it does idle a litlle high at 1500 but that is acceptable but i would put out more power if it had better injectors instead of the stockers."


Oh wait you never did.

i still got that motor havent put it in yet. it is winter you know and im still in school so cut me some slack. checked the oil again today at work after it set a couple hours and it read full. thinking maybe it was the gravel at my house throwing it off

must've been some steep gravel you were sitting on when you checked the oil...
