Just an example. Not implying anything.
Is the check engine light on? How bad is the power loss? Slight or massive?
Some oil is normal. A mist or some small drops ok. It it's dripping out or has puddles of oil that's not good. |
Slartyblarfast,
I have the synthetic oil and take the car in when recommended. I have them change the air filter everytime I change the oil, because it can be a bit dusty in FLA at times. I'm still driving okay with enough power, but just don't have the boost and it goes through gas faster than before. No engine lights, no smoke, no puddles or really anything on the floor.
