sidimaruf: Did you check the oil when the engine was still hot? You should not be checking the engine oil level when the engine is still hot. If it is then some of the oil in the engine has not settled to the sump (bottom) so you are not getting a correct level reading of the oil on the dip stick. |

sidimaruf: Absolutely wrong. Check for external oil leaks to start with |
Re: Blown Head Gasket: Detailed Explanation by handsomeyinka(m): 12:08pm On Mar 26, 2018 |
sidimaruf:There's a difference between maintenance required and check engine light. A check engine light will require a scan to get the code while a maintenance required light comes on to remind you to change your oil. It comes on 5,000 miles after the last time it was reset. Do you know how to reset your maintenance required light? |

Hahnemann: Drain water completely from radiator, refill with coolant. |
Re: Blown Head Gasket: Detailed Explanation by handsomeyinka(m): 1:47pm On Mar 26, 2018 |
sidimaruf:It's very easy just Turn the ignition key to 'ON' and press the odometer button until the display reads ODO (not Trip A or B). Hold in the same button you used in step 1. While holding the button in, turn the ignition key to ON. Then the Maintenance Required light should blink and go out. |
Re: Blown Head Gasket: Detailed Explanation by GAZZUZZ(m): 2:05pm On Mar 26, 2018 |
sidimaruf: there is a reset procedure hiding the trip reset button with the key in ignition. Google it and watch the video of how it's done. |
Re: Blown Head Gasket: Detailed Explanation by sidimaruf: 2:10pm On Mar 26, 2018 |
Ok. If I do this will it reset my odo miles reading to 00000. ? handsomeyinka: |
Re: Blown Head Gasket: Detailed Explanation by handsomeyinka(m): 2:58pm On Mar 26, 2018 |
sidimaruf:No...your odometer reading will remain the same. Just push the black knob on your cluster ( speedometer) and hold it for like 10 secs,while holding it put the key in the ignition and turn On the ignition but don't start the car. After 10 secs leave the knob and start the car.it will clear off the maintenance required light. |
Re: Blown Head Gasket: Detailed Explanation by sidimaruf: 3:18pm On Mar 26, 2018 |
Lol. I quickly left my desk to give it a try. It worked. I started the car a couple more times and the light is not blinking again. Thank you sir. handsomeyinka: |

paulavon:it is a defect. some do burn oil, some don't. if you are burning more than a litre every 1000 kilometers, then you have a bad engine. new engine loading. paulavon:it is a defect. some do burn oil, some don't. if you are burning more than a litre every 1000 kilometers, then you have a bad engine. new engine loading. |
