Hello, Car specs: Engine: 1.6L petrol 113HP (euro V EU spec) Transmission: 5 speed manual Mileage: ~ 84 000 km (52 000 miles) LHD Trim level: LS Country: EU (state: romania) Today while the car was idling and out of curiosity I've took out the dipstick out while the engine was running...

I have a 2011 Chevy Cruze. I have had so many problems with a burning coolant smell and leaking oil lines. Lately my dipstick won’t stay in and keeps shooting out about 2 inches, which causes my check engine light to come on and the car starts to shake due to the vacuum leak. I usually just pop...

Over 7 years with this car and I have a question about the dipstick. I have come to terms with the fact that I will be branded a dunce. I noticed that if I check the engine oil level with the dipstick's cross hatches on top facing up, I get a lower reading than when I take a reading with the...

Hey everyone, today i pulled my oil cap off while the car was running and heard a deep fluttering sound. I immediately thought blow by. However there is a slight vacuum there and it's enough to make the car idle rough. I pulled the dipstick and could hear it sucking there and some oil sloshing...

So my 2013 Chevy Cruze LTZ W/107,000 miles very recently started losing oil(1 quart over 6 months) and coolant as well as idling very poorly. And most recently the oil dipstick has had ALOT of negative pressure on it to the point if I pull it out it doesn't stutter and then quickly bounce back...

Okay, so I'm not sure why. But I just did a fresh Oil change, go-to check the oil and it shows nothing on the dipstick? I put about 4.2-4.5 quarts in it.

I have a 2016 LT Limited cruze Turbo. No idea how to read the oil dipstick. Attached is the picture of it. My oil is at the TOP of the top hashed area. Is this too much?

I've been reading here for a while, but cannot find my issue here nor anywhere else on the internet. Various dealer service techs have given mixed advice on the potential severity of the issue. I took my '11 Cruze to Valvoline Instant Oil Change on June 1 for a standard change @ 96,302mi...

I own a 2013 1.4L Cruze. This week I received a message on the DIC stating, "change engine oil soon". I had put about 5,000 miles on since the last oil change. So OK, the message seemed reasonable. For the heck of it, I then proceeded to check the oil level after letting the car sit for about...

So my 2014 1.4L recently hit me with a P0171 code. I looked all over the site and found it's most likely the PCV valve. I also noticed an awful squeak while it's idled but when I pulled the dipstick out, the squeaking stopped. Looking on the site, I see that could be a bad seal. Would the bad...

Stock 2013 Cruze 1.4 Auto 102,500 miles Past few months I've been hearing a squeaking coming from under the hood of my car. At first I thought it was the serpentine belt, so I replaced it with no luck. Then I thought it was the serpentine belt tensioner, so I replaced that with no such luck...

I swapped engines from a 2011 LUJ to a 2015 LUV due to a cracked piston. The new engine likes to burn oil until it gets to the bottom of the dipstick and then seems to be OK. If I add oil to bring it back up to the normal range, It will just burn it until it is back down again. It will have...

My 2014 1LT has been virtually problem free. Heard more than normal ticking today, decided to pull dipstick and check new oil, reading is spot on. Noticed an immediate whistling noise from the filler tube and clicking from the valve cover, like something is slapping around. The Idle actually...

I was wondering has anyone, or if not WILL anyone maKe a sort of diy dipstick for the automatic transmission on these cars? It's just ridiculous these things don't come with a dipstick! GM had no right trying to come up with some sealed for life transmission which is complete bull crap...

I have a unmolested 2012 Cruze Eco with a 1.4L and 116,000 Miles. When I was driving to work tonight, the check engine light comes on. I get to work and open the hood and see oil around the dipstick. I don't have my code reader handy so I cannot see the codes that it has. Oil level on dipstick...

When I pull the dipstick the car changes its idle and you can feel air coming from dipstick hole. You can place your finger over the hole and the car will go back to idling normal? Any one else ever heard of this???? Dealer said this was normal and nothing to worry about.

Hi folks. It seems to me GM couldn't have made a more confusing dipstick if they'd tried. I don't know if they've redesigned it since 2011; please see the attached image. My interpretation of the owner's manual, which isn't all that clear, is below. Could somebody verify that the diagram is...

I checked my oil today, and it wasn't entirely clear which line was 'full'. There are 4 blocks seperated by 3 lines on the dipstick. Does full mean the oil is in the 4th block up from the bottom? Thanks

Hi all, I just got my Cruze back from it's first service. As always I check the oil level. I am sure they overfilled the oil, please see image below and reply. In my opinion the oil should be on or a bit below the black arrow, the red arrow is where the oil level is currently. Maybe I am...
