Yeah figures. I was gonna call pistons 2 and 3 but they are probably jacked from oil starvation. There's the reason the dipstick is 2 feet long, if it doesn't overflow the dip tube, fill it

that's what happens when you don't change winter oil to spring/summer oil.
same thing with your tires, you need to put the spring/summer air in them!!

OP just called me. He didnt take out advice. His steering wheel fell off because the oil starvation is jerking the car like crazy. I keep telling him to fill it but he is afraid.

Your a decimal off. Should be 47 l.

Also dibs on the seat fluff. Not the whole seat themselves I just need the fluff inside, mine went bad and I need to replace it

Perfect I needed the cloth cuz mine is stained. We can cut the seat. You take foam, I got the clothe, black has the frame. Done.

OP just messaged me said he got a CEL. Looked up the code. Shows: Low oil pressure. Told him to add some to motor and master cylinder.

that's an easy one, go wingless and use window paint to fill out your rear window, then go to big lots/lowes/home depot and get a few of the 100 pound bags of potting soil and evenly distribute through your car, all for under 25 dollars!! and its like stickers, adds a crazy amount of power!
