I have a 1998 AU Ford Falcon Forte and have been changing the oil in it every 2/3 weeks as it keeps going black on me. I have spoken to Autobarn about the oil i was using (Penrite) and they said i could try some Shell Helix because that gets the dirt out, so i tried it and still the same thing is happening. Here i'am today changing it again within a fortnight....Its costing me an arm and a leg to keep doing this all the time.
I have also been having problems with fuel economy and how bad its been. The dude at Autobarn mentioned to me it could be fuel mixing with the oil which might be the reason the oil keeps going black so quick. When i did my oil change today i smelt the oil and it distinctively smells alot like fuel to me. I'm getting the mechanic to put the scan tool on it on Monday to see if he can see whats going on here. Does anyone have any advice for me???? OR what could it be? |
