Btw what oil have u been pouring????
I am using havoline 20w50 oil and my car is doing this from winter times I purchased it in last year July and it was ok
Thank you so much for suggestion brother
Although it is the most viscous oil. Decreasing level with this oil means that the engine has given up and needs an overhaul. However try using shell helix hx3 or zic hiflo. Both are 20w50. Be sure to purchase the original ones.
my cultus is 2005/6, alhamdolillah still engine is good and i have been using shell engine oil. now the mechanic says it is gonna thinner now so u have to change engine oil. so can i use zic hiflow 20w 50 too?
Which oil are you using currently?is it decreasing oilwhats odo meter reading
20W-50 is very thick oil for your car
currently using shell. oil level is still the same but it gets thinner. meter ready is 110+. my mechanic also suggested me to add STP oil (yellow one) US made along with engine that is good car.
Punch your mechanic hard don't add STP fix the problem instead (if there is any)
as of now no problem is found. by the way.... can you guide me how to check clutch plates whether are they worn out or not?
