Hey guys! I went with a couple of friends to the cinema today and while I was driving I notice that I was decreasing some power. The economy gauge moved to 15 L/km (normal 8-10 L/km @ 120 km/h) and I feel the decrease of power. :wtf I kept on driving, but easier than I normally does. Finally we where in Eindhoven and I had parked my car for the time we were in the cinema. After the movie (and before we went for home) I have checked the oil level. This was a little below the minimum. I'd filled the engine with oil (Shell Helix 5W-40) and everything was OK when driving home.
The point now is: 2 weeks ago I'd filled the engine too with this oil, and today it was below the minimum! The outside temperature is still climbing (today 25 Celsius = 77 F) so I guess that's the cause. I didn't have this trouble last winter, even the oil I have smelled by the end pipes.
What should I do? Renew the oil with thicker one? Any suggestions......... :cry
I've been lucky nothing is damaged....
I would appreciate any help! :help
