I live in wy. If the Cylinder doesn't have scoring I could honestly see the dealer trying to throw a piston or piston/rod assembly in there and see if it seals up. I would hope if the dealer sees scoring they would just replace it, because they would be money ahead.
Yes tell them to stick the piston and ring solution where the sun don't shine. You should be getting a replacement short block at the very least and in reality a complete long block engine. 98% of dealer mechanic simply don't have the skills or the practice to do this type of rework anymore.
Man it shouldn’t be that way. I’ll try and find that screen on mine today and “test” it, lol. So weird no dipstick!21 Supra 3.0 premium bought used with 9500 miles on it just had warning show up to add 2 quarts at 13700 miles. Unfortunately, I tried checking the engine oil level and it fails every time. I have looked into this and people have stated that sometimes the electronic dipstick will not work if the oil is above a certain temp. I have allowed the car to cool down and still not functioning properly. Looks like I will be going to get the car serviced again.
I swear my car lives at the dealership as I just had my whole rack and pinion replaced as the steering would squeak after the car warmed up.
Not sure who that question was for, but in my case, the message would pop up randomly during driving it. Started around 5k miles, I purchased it used at 3k miles. Been having the issue ever since maybe getting the message every 800-1200 miles.
Wow thats insane! A good deal though in the end. I have my car currently at the dealership and I hope the dealer isn't gonna say oh just keep an eye on it and then have me go on my way.
If I measure the oil when I just finished driving it’s really hard in sport mode, can that throw a wrong reading? How accurate is it? It said I was at half a quart after 630 miles when I topped off but I put 1/4 quart in and it went back to MAX
