So today after the car had sat for a good 10 min I checked the oil and it was above the MAX on the dipstick, by maybe 1/4 inch. Previously when I had checked the oil, it had been immediatly after I shut off the car, so one day I saw it was a little low and added some oil. I SHOULD have waited for a few minutes first. But anyway, I have too much oil in there, could that be somehow forcing oil into the combustion chamber hence causing it to burn oil. That's the only rational explaination I can think up.
So, does that sound plausable and 2. is it going to cause any damage. I am going to drain the excess and see if it goes away. I can't believe I'd do something so damn stupid!
By the way, does anyone know who owns a red (bright red) Sonett in Minnesota? I saw one today driving in Pequot Lakes MN, and that is quite an occurance. Hell, other than the twin cities metro area, seeing ANY Saab is an occurance in MN.
As always, thanks guys,
Tyler
