Hey everyone, i have city 2012 1.3 ivtec and it's done more than 350k+ kms. The car is robust all around. But recently it's been blue smoking. I think it got worse since i shifted to 20w-50 after a mechanic recommendation. It smokes on 10w-40. So i have to stay on 20w-50. On 20w-50 it only smokes if you go near the redline. Otherwise it doesn't. The fuel average is great. Around 15-17. I have used zic, total and kixx oils. Kixx is better than both but its a lot heavier on acceleration. Got the engine inspected by multiple mechanics and most of them say rings need to be changed. But all of them suggest to change the engine. I need suggestions on if I should change the engine? Keep it and overhaul? If overhaul then need recommendation of a good mechanic. Or if i should keep going with what i have? In the case should i stay with kixx or any other oil recommendations?Thanks in advance

@syncview will rebuild it for you
Okay thanks
Never go for engine swap, simply rebuild it but from your post, it seems there is no urgency. You should go for compression test first and get precise wet and dry compression test results then decide. If it is not consuming oil then just replacing Rings will solve blue smoke issue
How much does a compression test cost?
In Karachi, usually ranging from 500 to 1500, some high shops takes upto 2,500. Irshad at Jamil Autos might charge you 1500 but on bargaining, will manage to 1000
