ClareQuilty Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Someone gave me an old Champ - they thought it didn't run but apparently it does run on its LPG system, but not on the normal fuel system. So I drove it around marveling at the functionality of a wreck with 350,000 kilometres, and then thought to check the oil.. it looked low to me (though clean, bizarrely) so I added a quart. Checked the next day cold and it was definitely about one quart too full - over the maximum mark on the stick. Should I get the extra quart sucked out? Is it a big deal? I'm thinking I might keep the car - it's just astounding how far it goes on the LPG, like free motoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Just let the extra oil burn off. It won't take all that long with that odometer reading. Which BTW may be underestimating. TIT. Seriously, Mitsubishi is way underrated as a vehicle manufacturer. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClareQuilty Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Other than this unforced oil error on my part, and the inability to run on benzene, the car has one problem - I suspect it's still on its original shocks! Horribly bouncy ride. So the choice is, drive it as is or get 4 new shocks (maybe 5-6k? Just guessing)? But if I invest in the shocks then looking at the timing belt starts to make sense..
