Low oil pressure + high oil consumpion/leak + unrelated CEL

Hello everyone. I have a couple of issues I would like some guideance with regarding my 2015 manual Abarth. I doubt these two problems are related to...
 

Tiers already balanced. In what way? Did he just look at the balance weights on the wheel or did he actually spin them on his machine?
 

Ok... When I did all the work on the front end, I brought the front tires to get balanced. The tire shop told me they were already balanced. The car...

It sounds like it could be a transmission issue or a problem from the car sitting for a while. It's a good idea to have a mechanic check it out.

    One of the reasons I prefer the 2015 digital cluster... very easy to read the speed.

      I find the opposite but each to his own

      My issue with digital is simply it doesn't refresh fast enough during acceleration.

              So awesome man you have but a ton of time and work into this build and it is really paying off. I'm not certain you'll go any faster even with +30 more whp. Get a set of front wheels with r-comp or drag radials, and I bet you will get very close to 5 seconds.



              245crank and 2450 lbs = 5.1 seconds-ish. This assumes perfect driving and ample traction. You will get under 5 seconds before you are done, even in the real world, once you restore grip and get the LSD.

                Due to the wheel the analog isn't as easily visible for me.

                  Makes sense to me captain Tweak. If you didn't realize that I was running a Canadian car, my 0-60 must've looked pretty insane :P

                      Agreed. I'm sure I can get close to 5 flat with the final revision of this tune but I'm sure you're right about the tires. LSD has moved up on my priority list after this week.
