ANSWER: Samiullah: This is a new car, I would say that the engine is bad. In that the oil is by passing the piston rings, that is not right. Surely you can take the car back where you bought it and get them to replace either the car or the car's engine. As this should not be happening with a new car's engine. Hope this helps. Linda

AnswerSamiullah:I work mostly on Eclipses and I should think you could order a repair manual on line for your car. You need one of those to do this work. Because you are going to have to have the engine rebuilt. Well you will need to take the engine apart to get down to the pistons. Like my manual talks of the things you need to have on hand before you start this work... here is the list... common hand tools, 1/2-inch drive torque wrench, piston ring installation tool, piston ring compressor, short lengths of rubber or plastic hose to fit over connecting rod bolts, plastigage, feeler gauges, a fine-tooth file, new engine oil, engine assembly lube or moly-base, grease, gasket sealant, thread locking compound. The manual says to stay in line and in order follow this way... piston rings, oil jet valves, crasnkshaft and man bearings, balance shafts, piston/connecting rod assemblies, rear main oil seal housing, front case and oil pump assembly, oil pan, cylinder head assembly, water pump, timing belt and sprockets, timing belt cover, intake and exhaust manifolds, racker arm cover, engine rear plate and flywheel/driveplate. There is no way I can write down everything you would need to know on how to do this. You could I guess look around on line and might find a site that would do this for you. But it would take pages and pages of writing. I am only to be answering questions here. So again I am sorry but you will have to find a repair manual for your car and buy that. You will need a garage, jack stands, tools and the know how to do this. It is not just something you can just do on your own with no manual because it will not work. Maybe you should trade the car off, drive it like it is or find something to fix it for you. Hope this helps: Linda
