Hello
Please help..
Just got myself a fiat punto grande 2006 sporting 1.4 16v and I changed the oil with Asda 10w40 (emptied fully, changed the oil filter and filled up).
My engine light is on and sometimes the battery light comes on whilst I am driving.
Whilst driving, when I stopped at a junction the car turned off by itself!
Whilst idle and just started the car it turned itself off too.
I read the code as P0011 and have since tried cleaning the sensor as I accidentally got loads of grease on it when I sprayed WD40 on the alternator belt as it got stuck and it must have sprayed onto the sensor.
This has not helped.
I have read forums that say that even though I used the wrong oil it shouldn't cause major issues - or any noticeable issues.
Does everybody agree on this because I was going to change the oil again to 5w40 but if its not a big deal and will survive til it needs topping up with the correct oil I will leave it.. can I top it up with the 5w40 whilst it has a bit of 10w40 inside?
Any other ideas as to how to fix P0011?
Thanks
