What is the level on the stick? If it is fine I would lean towards the oil pressure switch going bad. It only measures engine oil pressure so it has nothing to do with the trans oil-sounds like you have a manual trans

 

Its weird, After checking it yesterday, it was as dry as a bone..

I put a litle less than a full quart of oil yesterday and this morning before i drove it, I checked and only the tip of the dipstick had a drop of oil.

I jacked the car up and checked for leaks but everything is perfect from the oil pan/oil filter.

Yes manual trans


Btw, I noticed you only have 2300 more posts than me. LOL

 

No high mileage oil yet for me, 'cuz my '93 5spd only has 227,000 miles on it -
so no idea on that oil cost or advantages.

You've had a severe low oil experience, so start a log recording miles, date and checked dip stick oil level.
Check it every week or so and write down the results.
I'd let any engine 'flush' wait until you get a good handle on the oil level thing;
people used to do the 'flush,' don't know good / bad about it for newer cars like yours.

Overall, this is a newish car to you? If so your Honda dealer
probably has a $75 - 100 full car inspection that should be worth the price
vs. being subjected to the whim of the oil lube industry salesguys.
You'll get back a list of repairs they see as needed .

 

You said you changed oil 5000 miles ago. And now the oil is almost all gone. Normally that does not happen. IMO, there are 3 possible causes:

1. Whoever changed your oil didn't put enough oil back in
2. You have a leak in the oil pan
3. Your engine is burning oil due to damaged parts.

I wouldn't drive long distances until you got your engined all figured out. I'm afraid the damage's been done.

 

damn, so you guys think my car is damaged? :/
I'll be checking oil on a regular basis now.

Also, can you help me figure out the transmission fluid? I went to AutoZone to buy it and they told me that they do sell transmission fluid, but for my model it says that a mechanic needs to do it anyways, since it needs to be flushed/drained. So Shall I just tell my mechanic to take care of it?

 

If I'm following this correctly, you have a manual trans. I suggest using Honda MTF. The only real hard thing about this job is getting the new fluid in the trans.

 

NOPE don't think we're following correctly, don't find the OP has said whether he has an auto or a 5 spd manual -
there's another poster with concerns and he has a 5 sp.
unless I'm confused too.

MTF = manual trans fluid.


EDIT: poorman's next post shows I WAS THE ONE CONFUSED

 

Agree, but dondon does have a stick....mtf-manual trans fluid, pref Honda fluid.

 

If you ain't leaking oil your burning it or jiffy lube is screwing you ( most likely ) stick your finger in the exhaust and see if it gets oily;, And learn how to change your own oil or take it to the dealer .
