Could be one or more things. These engines around that model year have issues with oil pan o-rings, and you could also have a clogged oil sump pick up screen. I don't think the oil pumps fail too much on these but I wouldn't rule that out.

 

No es bueno. Sounds like your engine is worn out.

 

it happens all the time? under hard shiftings?.

 

I am a quart low, but that shouldn't make a noise like that.

Did you ever top up your oil level? A quart low isn't ideal...

 

same exact thing happened to me. but this time is was in a motor that was just put in my car. My motor blew and I had a motor with 80,000 but in. they test drove the car after the motor replacement and put about 40 miles on it with not problems. as soon as i came to pick the car up and drove away from the shop I got identical symtoms to what you are describing here. I immediately turned right around and ask the guy what he was trying to pull on my. he is currently trying to figure out what is wrong by replacing a bunch of different sensors. IF you have any updates on this problem please let me know so i can bring them straight to my mechanic

Thanks!

Check the oil on the dipstick. If the o-rings are cracking, you will notice that the oil seems to have a number of almost microscopic bubbles in it. First sign the oil o-rings are starting to go bad. Replace them early, or they will continue to deteriorate, and then you start having the problem where there is more air than oil being circulated, and that means rod bearings will be toast very soon.

 

thanks for the advise!
the mechanic that replaced the motor is currently trying to diagnose the problem. I will make sure that he knows about this. and fixes the problem.
