Hello guys;
I do have a question which i need to sort out asap becouse i think i am in trouble...went to a friends mechanic for a oil change, everything done came back home(oil changed when i was visiting my friend in london i live in soton)...couple of days later start to hear valve's hitting...it was there before the oil change...open the boot as the mechanic told that he put rest of the oil to boot...and i found out that he put 20w50 to the car...called him up and he give me all that unnecessary stuff about him going to BP oil course and all that and he said thats the oil which i am suppose to use, i ve read most of the stuff you guys and other members wrote and now i know i got the wrong oil in my car...all these happened a week ago and the car eat 5 litres of oil already that 20w50 stuff...now what should i do? should i go and get a new oil filter and change all the oil? is that hurt my engine? what i should expect in the future...well if its something bad i ll go and shaw a oil bottle in that guy so i need to know it soon...
some info on the car:
92 s13
72k miles
ca18det
mods:
t28, colder plugs, koyo radi, FMIC, s14 breakes, stage2 chip
well cant remember the whole list...and i am planing to go to stage 3 in couple of weeks...
type of driving: everday driving-generally motorway othervise short distance...casual roundabot stunts...want to go to track soon...and will be going to track...
the current oil in the car:
Valvoline Racing VR1 20W50
and i cant find the same oil anywhere around here...as i dont want to top it up with different oil like 10w40...
thanks for the help...
