so I usually maintain cars for friends and people with old cars who I know...
so an old guy with a Mini comes to me , says the car smokes a lot, and that it goes poorly... I notices it has a missfire. He was topping it with oil , and it was 20w50 oil, but it was an LIDL 20w50 oil , for motorcycles with wet clutches )and it says (in english but again) not for automotive use.. Oil pressure on the gauge of the dash was on number 2 when the engine is warm (It goes up to 8 ), kinda low. went to measure the compression and had it uniformed around 135 psi. that is low.But the car starts real nice. Removed the filter and had to see this :
yeah.. purchased the cheapest 15w40 mineral oil , filter and an additive for worn engines. the additive was so thick i had to cook it xD
poured it all in the engine , made a drive and voila. Oil pressure is when warm 5on the gauge. the engine stopped missfiring, and zero ZERO smoke. cars goes like a champ , the old guy went for the test drive, didnt come back for half an hour, when he did , he was soooo happy , even bought me a chocolate and coke
just to share a hack job that went well and cheapio for the old guy
