Anybody know what this could be? My check engine light came on last month and come to find out it was low as hell on the oil. so i filled up, reset the battery and check engine light off never came on. Today my engine light came on, checked the oil and its low down to a little less than a quarter. I filled it up reset the battery to take away the check engine light. But looking under the car everywhere there is no oil leak whatsoever and no oil on the ground where I park everyday. Can anyone explain or tell me what they think is going on here?? Appreciate it in advance

Ohh yea no smoke whatsoever in startups or driving, no burning smell of oil, no oil splatter or anything anywhere. its weird???

well to start with next time the light comes on dont disconnect your battery and clear the light, hook a scanner up so you can see what the code is for. also the oil thing, you say only a quarter of a quart low in a month. its possible you might have ready the stick wrong last month or the oil didnt settle and you got a wrong reading on the oil dip stick..

Disconnecting the battery will turn the light off, but the code is still store in the computer. Have the code pull like said above and post it up. That way someone can post up if they have seen that code before and that they can also help you out.

how many miles since you checked your oil, scion says 1qt for every 1k miles you drive is normal. i go thru 1 whole qt between oil changes. it also does this with synthetic oil also

Hey also check your spark plugs and see if they have oil on the threads. And there isn't an Autozone, Advance Autoparts, or Murrays/O'Rieleys anywhere near you?? Because they can check the code
