Canada i was down almost 3L of oil

Yea, the wife told me the car was ticking and the TC light was on so this morning i checked it and it only had a bit over a liter of oil however, there is no leaks or spots in the drivway. i havent seen any blue smoke either.

I think it may be time for a compression check. what should i be seeing when i check the 4 cylindars?

only thing I could find on here was 151 psi each cylinder. But that was only from searching the forums.

so i was looking at the car again and my breather (small filter on block) was filled with oil..... is that right?

In case i am not explaning the filter right it was a tube from intake to block before and was replaced with a filter as my CAI had no spot for the tube.

That should be on the valve cover not the block.

do you do your own oil changes? or do you bring it somewhere? so long as all the cylinders PSI are close to each other and hold pressure your good
