hi
my car is ok for now with only minor issues but my friend bought cheap 320 diesel 2006 with 180k miles (who knows is genuine mileage or not)
he drove it for a while and decide to make service
so he bought oil, filter, air filter etc and we try to do that today
car was warm about 80 degrees after removing drain plug from sump it was only about 1 litre oil go out...
oil filter was dirty with sludge, same oil dipstick, oil cap the same...
looks like oil wasn't change for long time...
im just wondering what is best way to sort it out:
- i can borrow oil extractor pump and try suck it out via dipstick hole but not sure it will work
-buy one of this engine flush fluid (add to oil and run engine for 15 min then flush) and try it however im not sure with this age and milage of the car after flush can be some leaks from old seals etc...
is anyone have any suggestion what is best to do to make it work?
to me looks like it must be blocked somewhere, it should be 9 litres not only 1...
car drives nicely, no warning lights, no weird noises, coolant is clean, no smoke, sounds like my 350 so i think is still oil circulation but can't be drained normal way...
thanks for your time and looking for suggestions...
