Hello, a two parter depending how much you like to read!
Garage put wrong oil in my 2015 500X 1.4 Multiair / 140BHP / 101 000 miles / Manual.
I’ve ordered 8 litres of Selenia Digitek 0W/30, two filters and one Multiair oil strainer/filter From Shop4Parts (thanks to reading previous threads). Oil has already been changed by garage but I’m not convinced it was a thorough job (see below). I’m planning on draining fully, refilling along with new filter, running engine and then repeating again with another new filter and new strainer.
Should I use an engine flush product or does this risk doing more damage.
Deep cuts info!
Garage put in wrong oil (unknown at the time) and around 8 months later car developed misfire, stalling, starting issues, warning lights etc seen on other threads. The issue re oil was identified and they changed the oil and filter free of charge. Fault has reappeared two months later and garage is claiming it will be unrelated and fault codes are showing pre cat air sensor issue and potential turbo issue making repair uneconomical. I have driven car back home. I’ve suggested to garage issues may be related as symptoms are identical but right now they’re not having it. As above I believe it is worthwhile changing oil and making a good job of it. The garage have also said using the wrong oil wont have any impact on either the air sensor or the turbo which I struggle to believe. I’m also inclined to think the poor running engine will impact on the air sensor in any case. There is also a strong possibility I’m wrong as I’m no mechanic and it wouldn’t be the first time!
