2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Why am I losing coolant and twice in a row I have had low oil.
Why am I losing coolant and twice in a row I have had low oil.
What is your question?
March of 2013 I had my thermostat changed because it wasn't blowing hot air , sometimes it wld and some times it would not. That was fixed. Since around that time which has been over a year and a half I have been losing coolant. I believe it was also flushed/back flushed. I have been replacing the coolant when I notice it getting hot. There is no puddles on the ground and no smell of antifreeze. I'm assuming it's leaking internally or burning up/off when I drive.
My last to oil changes I have been a quart and a half low on oil , with no puddles. I believe I do have air in the lines or radiator.
On the coolant wld this be lines, water pump, intake manifold, Castech heads , gaskets??? Please help me

I had the same problem with mine. I changed my oil to Shell Rotella 15w40 and added "good", fine particle radiator stop leak. It resolved the coolant issue and my oil consumption is much less. Chevrolet screwed up on the redesign of their blocks and ALL of the Vortec engines blow intake gaskets. Do this soon or you'll have oil that looks like chocolate milk. Then you'll have big problems.
