Dude, by the time the oil light comes on it's too late. It means it's running without oil pressure. That engine is almost certainly trashed. Sorry. >> my exhaust is smoking like crazy...only after i put MORE oil in the tank. >> i [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > running without oil pressure.

You may try some of the "miracle" products that supposedly increase compression, fix oil leaks, etc. (example: http://www.atvconnection.com/atvconnection/Features/productreviews/Restore-Engin e-Restorer.cfm ) . It's certainly not going to hurt at this point. I have never tried any, but it may get you a little further down the road to the next engine or car.

DId they ever pull the dipstick or did they just just added 4 qt's of oil?

DId they ever pull the dipstick or >did they just just added 4 qt's of oil? i added 4qts of oil....but it still is smoking..and the oil lite is still on?? ??and it is moving slowly as i apply more gas......im taking it to the shop today so i'll post wat they think is best..and hopefully you guys can make a better judgement of it cause I AM A WOMAN and they will try to get over!!!! so i'll post whats next around 10:30am est. > >> You may try some of the "miracle" products that supposedly increase > >> compression, fix oil leaks, etc. (example: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > better judgement of it cause I AM A WOMAN and they will try to get over!!!! > so i'll post whats next around 10:30am est. I hate to say it but agree with the other post: Your engine is most likely blown. It is often not worth rebuilding an engine by a mechanic because of the time it will take as opposed to replacing it with a junk yard engine. If it is a fairly new car, that may be a worthwhile option. If it is older, you may want to think about junking the car (donate it so you can write if off your taxes, perhaps) and replacing it. I don't mean anything by this, but buy the "car maintenance for dummies" book so that you can alleviate this problem on your next car. Learn to do basic maintenance and learn to listen to your car. Hope I am wrong.
