Older car oil leak adding a quart a week should you still change it even after added clean quart a week?

Not to be rude but your spilling oil out on the ground not cool! ... your also mixing clean oil to dirty oil so the oil is never clean. Have an oil leak diag done on it. Most times its a valve cover or oil pan gasket if your lucky at least have it looked at and try to have it fixed.Older car oil leak adding a quart a week should you still change it even after added clean quart a week?
Your oil never gets a chance to get dirty if it's getting a new quart every week, my friend. Your PEP BOYS tech is only partially correct. Most of them don't know squat. Report Abuse
Older car oil leak adding a quart a week should you still change it even after added clean quart a week?
NO. if you're using quality oil, just change the filter once in a while.


A new quart every week is the same as new oil forever, especially if you drive mostly freeway. If your trips are short, just keep an eye on the color of the oil. If it starts getting close to black, go ahead and change it.





The contaminants cannot build up that quickly.
Yes change the filter and oil put a thinker oil and a additive the particles still will get clogged in your engine sitting in the bottom of the pan make it last as long as you can
GET IT FIXED! You're adding a quart a week of dirty oil to the ground water, water ways and eventually to our estuaries and coastal waters.
Quit polluting our environment! Get your car fixed!
Yes you should still change the oil and filter when the service is due. Just because it leaks oil excessively, doesn't mean the sediment that settles in the bottom of the pan leaks out, or the filters filtering capabilities are increased.
