Re: Oil leak 2004 9-5 aero at 184k miles - advice to drive to shop Posted by Mark in Marine [Email] (#1837) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Mark in Marine) on Mon, 19 Nov 2018 14:01:14 In Reply to: Re: Oil leak 2004 9-5 aero at 184k miles - advice to drive to shop, Name Left Blank, Mon, 19 Nov 2018 12:09:09 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
20 miles is do-able BUT I would top up the oil to FULL - wasting a half-quart of oil is cheap compared to hurting the engine. Watch your oil light and have extra oil in case you need to add more. If/when that O-ring fully cracks, it can lose a lot of oil in a hurry.
This scenario happened to our daughter years back. By shutting down when she saw the oil light flicker she saved the motor - linked below
Good Luck !

P.S. That car is still running, more than 63K miles later
