Almost everyday i used to check my engine oil dipstick. It used to drop every 2 days to half the dipstick. I bought my car last year in august. Noticed this engine low levels after a month of driving . white smoke used to puff out. I wanted to solve this problem immediately. Went to my friend who is BMW expert workshop.His name is Albert Pang at Pandan Indah. He open up the top cover and I saw my engine was full of bloody dreaded SLUDGE. Previous owner never change his oil we concluded. Was like ur maid cook with the same oil for a week and u can imagine what color and stuff the oil would be. So i decided to do full overhaul and found out that my crankshaft , crankshaft bearing , conrod and lots of other stuff was full of this thick sludge and it was gone , spoil and caputs! U know what i mean...Oil passages was all clogged up with this black sludge too... my piston and block were all no use to me already.... so the option was to change all the parts of get a 2nd hand engine.... My mechanic said cheaper to get a 2nd hand import N42 engine from Japan ... It cost me rm 6500 and his labor was rm 1200 and my mechanic found one for me and took him just 2 weeks to get it done...... I also change new timing chain and tensioner with valve seals......... Wala, its all brand new now .... Now its running on Motul fully synthetic oil 10-40w as my mechanic recommended ....5000km and today i just check the dipstick after 3 months of this new engine .... Not one single drop of oil lost, bro. It is still at the top level , MAX!Thats my story .... If u need further info from me ... feel free to call me at 016-9227788... My name is Malvin. U take care k. All the best in what u decide to do .</blockquote>
