Out of antifreeze like you lost it all? Buy a gallon of full strength. Take it home and mix it with 1 gallon of water. Now you have 2 gallons. Assuming you didn't some how lose all of your coolant, this is more than enough for you. I don't think you can buy less than 1 gallon of coolant anyway.
no oil pressure at low rpms is most likely caused by sludge in engine i had a car once that had no oil pressure at all loud ticking on rocker arms my advice that my dad gave me was drain all the oil buy 2 gasllons of diesel put on gallon in oil (has enough oil in it to lubricate but will not burn like gas do to no spark and not enough pressure) run with the diesel in it for 5 minutes drain that gallon of diesel and put second gallon of diesel in and run for an additional 5 minutes when you drain that last gallon of diesel it should be a brown color but still transparent change filter and put new oil in and check to see if that has solved your problem
The key is how much smoke? Does the smoke have a smell to it. Are you consuming any fluids, like coolant, or oil?
Tons White smoke that is sweet smelling is usually coolant getting into the combustion chamber.
Less white smoke, especially if other cars are doing it, is normal. For every gallon of gas that you burn, you generate a gallon (GALLON) of water. so this water usually evaporates, but sometimes not. It has little or no smell.
If the smoke is bluish white, that is oil, but usually your converter would fill with oil, and cause error codes, or loss of power. This smell is distinct, but not necessarily sweet.... After the converter heats up, it may be able to burn off the oil and the smoke stops.
What are you consuming, fluid wise, will direct where you go next.
When a Cadillac (Northstar) overheats, It will give the message to change the oil. If you run a Northstar and keep running it long enough it will start shutting off cylinders and stop the A/C compressor to help protect itself. In this condition I would check for a blown headgasket. Possibly your technican will find the problem. Could also be stuck thermostat, dirty radiator Thanks
hey
at the begging u should clarify how many gallon u used.
112 miles at 28 miles per gallon --> 4 gallons burned (112/28)
So that means we leaked 11 - 4 = 7 gallons
Now figure out how long the car was driving.
112 miles at 64 miles per hour --> 1.75 hours
So, leak was at a rate of 7 gallons in 1.75 hours
7/1.75 = 4 gallons per hour leaked.
