I was just suprised HOW fast I broke it...
It's Mobile 1 and it's been in there for 2000 miles!
And on top of that, i poured in more then 2 quarts since the change.
Man, I hate this situation.
I want to know where my damn oil goes
its normal, oil and gas are both from the same stuff, when the oil begins to breakdown, it can have a gas smell a little. I would recommend changing it soon.
Smelling fuel in your oil is not normal, and it's not good. You are washing away the oil's ability to protect the rotating assembly. Your turbo will be the first to begin showing wear, then your main and rod bearings will show wear and shortly thereafter will spin.

To me my oil smells like gas a tad all the time, but thats just probably my sensitive little nose...lol.
But yea, Tmp, it is probably from running so damn rich all the time, you are washing down the cylinders and getting gas into your oil. I am not sure why you are waiting for a reflash and not just adjusting the fuel DOWN on your diablo. You can probably get it pretty damn close to perfect without another reflash by taking 10-15% of fuel out.
And burning two quarts of oil is aweful, sounds like you may actually a leak somewhere, probably your return or feed line, unless you are seeing a lot of smoke out the back, which means youre burning oil.
My problem is the following:
I go through a ton of oil and now the dip stick smells like gas.
What could be the cause?
- My car doesn't smoke.
That kind of rules out a leaking turbo, a blown headgasket and worn rings.
- My drive way is clean.
So I have no external leaks
- My compression was around 150 psi on all four.
According to the info I found, that's ok. Another reason to believe my rings are ok.
- My catch can is not filling quickly.
I just put that on a couple of miles ago, but it doesn't seem to fill like cracy.
I also replaced the pcv valve.
- My AFRs are leaner now. 14.8 cruise, 11.2 - 12.2 under WOT
I WAS running pig rich until recently though...
With the lean tune I haven't even run a whole tank of gas yet.
So, maybe I was running so damn rich, that I was washing my cylinders and burning the oil.
Now that the car is running leaner, it's ok, but I don't have enough miles on it yet to see the improvement...
One thing I'm afraid of:
What if one of my injecors is bad???
What if I'm flodding one cylinder while the others are lean?
Man, I hate this situation.
I'm gonna do an oil change this weekend and see if it looks better from now on (with the leaner tune).
I still have to talk to turbo666 about whats going on with my part throttle. Im gonna try resetting the fuel trims but i doubt those would be causing the roughness...It gets all jerky and stumbling...Its making me want to sell the car

you and TMP need to take your cars somewhere to get tuned, these mail tunes aren't workin for you IMO

I hate to admit it... but I'm getting to the point were I think you are right.
I'll see what happens after the oil change.
If the oil consumption goes down I'll stick with what I'm doing, if there's still fiunky stuff going on I'll have to find some other solution.
@ACR:
How come you're just making mid 300s with all your mods???
Well the jerking and stumbling is happening when i let off the gas and try to ease back into it...for example rolling through a yield sign or something....its bad man...if this dont get fixed through the email tunes im gonna be pretty mad that i spent 200 dollars on that....IM NOT SAYING THE TUNES ARENT GOOD, but Nigel told me part throttle is hardest part to tune through email.

are you running a fuel return line? what fuel pressure do you have your regulator set to? what are your long and short term fuel trims?
my car bucks if i run any lower than 55psi of fuel pressure, and also my transient fuel response sucks if my trims are not ideal. and then there is a combination of the two as well.
When it stumbles afr's will go into the 12's 13's as i let off the gas then the display will be (---) on the wideband lol.
thats normal, when you let of the gas it should swing rich for a split second then go back lean. it shouldnt stay there tho, should shoot right back to high 14s when you resume cruising.
what about your fuel trims and return line and fuel pressure?
