I checked my oil the other day before start up and was about 3 qts low. Got to looking and found nothing unusual, weeping valve cover, weeping oil pan, ect... Projects for another day before painting. I put in 3 qts of Castrol Tection HD and went to "root raking".

I think one of ya sabatoged my 504 :lol: Anyone ever have this happen?
