Yes. I was talking about how he knew something was wrong and insisted that Lucas would "fix" it.

For the oil to go below the readable level on the dip stick you'd have to lose ~2 quarts. That much oil doesn't just evaporate in <100 miles. Check the feed/return lines on your turbo, the oil filter/cooler housing, the oil pan, and your valve cover gasket. Also check the intercooler hoses (turbo to hard line, hard line to intercooler, intercooler to throttle body) for oil. It has to be going someplace. If there's no coolant in your oil or vice versa that means the oil is going bye bye someplace other than the block. Are you sure you filled the crank case all the way when you did the oil change? How many quarts of oil did you drain out? How many did you put back in?

also did you do the oil change or did someone else do the oil change. If yu added two quarts of oil in 200 miles and your still driving the car thats a bigger problem. If you are still driving is it still losing oil that fast? Sounds like the oil changer just didn't put enough oil in it. You notice when oil goes away that quick. Or should notice
