94 3.4L Horsepower

Dumb question here. If a car has slow acceleration. And it is running about 1 QT low. Does that make a difference in acceleration?

 

I found out that the car runs 1 QT low because if it's filled to normal capacity the engine leaks a lot of oil while parked. Currently it does leak alittle( a few drops).

 

Thanks for any advice.

One quart of oil low on the dipstick means nothing in terms of acceleration.  Are you sure the dipstick is correct?

 

If having a full oil pan increases oil leakage when the engine is shut off, there's something WRONG with the engine--cracked oil pan, most likely.

 

Time to invest in some repairs.
