that's no good for you car, man.
have oil regurlarly changed is the cheapest yet most effective way to keep the engine running long...

 

if you have oil on the plugs, you have a bad head gasket or bad vavle seals. changing your vavle cover gasket will not help this, do a compression test go from there. burning oil is not common in eclipse, its common in cars that people dont maintain properly. or in cars running high horse power because that puts stress on a motor, so it has to have them changed more often.

 

Well, to be honest, I'm not worried too much, well, I wasn't... I just turned 50k, so I'm gonna start doing regular checks. I also don't have any smoke coming from the exhaust, or any puddles where I park the car, so I'm willing to bet all 4.8 quarts of oil are still in it, lol.

 

If you do it your self worst case its might be the head. max amount i have seen from dealer for a head is 500 bucks. that is everthing gaskets and all.

 

Get 435 thats actually good news. I was more worried about the cost for the parts than the labor, I probably cant do it myself, but I can get help without paying an outrageous amount. Yeah, man Im sure I could do a better job with the maintenance, though I havent gone 9,000 miles without doing an oil change.

 

i have a 99 OZ racing edition n/t and ive blown a head gasket once at a car show but no other real problems and havent ever noticed any oil burning so far, it has 92k miles.

 

I have a 97 rs n/t and it seems to burn oil and smoke only while in idle. Which gaskets should I look at replacing?
