Hi,
I have a new problem on my stanza.
It was fine before I changed the oil, but after I changed the oil 2 days ago, and I can hear the engine making more noise than before. After one day of driving, I can hear some kind of weird noise i never heard before, it might sounds like high frequency sound, or maybe metal sounds. So i suspected it is caused by the oil used, but i bring it to another different shop, they don't notice it. So I leave it one more day, and drive a little more, now im sure the sound is there. One day ago, there is noise ONLY when i drive, but now i can hear the noise whenever i start the engine. It is kind of scary to drive when i think it is engin's metail is sliding each other without lubrication. So today, which is third day, i decided to add some more oil, and after a few tries, it does make the noise less, but still there once a while. I used this engine oil for many years, no problem on this same car.
So i go ahead and drive one more day, there is a new problem. The Red light for Engine oil is red lighted, first time i see it. As far as i know and asking some friends, it is for engine without enought oil. But I already added more oil, and I also checked it after it is cooled overnight, it HAS enough oil.... Another strange thing is the light is OFF when i drive it, and it goes on when i driving around 10km/h or slower, so around when i start to put gas, and when it is almost stopped. Now when i accelerating faster, i can see white smoke coming from the back, looks like it is burning engine oil to me.
Anyone know or what could happend, it is kind of strange.
So far i know the garage did a very bad job using bad oil, but this is first time in last 2 years with this garage. But what about the light and noise could be. Is it safe to even drive it to garage to complain and get it solved for free?
Thanks. :grinyes: :banghead:

if it's blowing smoke when you accelerate then there's something wrong. plain and simple... go back and complain, if they say they don't see anything wrong with it have one of them ride with you for a while so you can show them the problems. If all else fails,they don't do anything and your engine seizes up you can threaten to sue and get an new engine in it for free because they caused the problem to begin with!:iceslolan
