Biff - you're an arse

[Brian d marge]

Anyhoo - job done, car works again, with new oil. The only problem is that in my mild panic I'd bought diesel oil instead of normal oil. Now my petrol 'hobby' car is running on diesel oil.
Short answer is No

if fact you can change to diesel oil before say rplacing with a v expensive synthetic ..
Diesel oil contains more detergents and has a higher surface film shear shtrength ...
and is a little more expensive ...

Diesel oil's good stuff for your motor - but maybe not for a Primera with a SR18 or SR20....these are one of the worst sludge motors out there,could you see nice shiny alloy inside the oil cap,or was it black as shit? At least you didn't put engine oil in the auto.

[bugjuice]

easy done.. you know.. cos like, the bottom of the engine and the gear box are right close, like inches away.. and the stuff is, you know, could be the same colour n all.. Least you didn't pour new oil down the dipstick which is one story I heard. 5 hours to change the oil..


arse.

You want a photo of an arse? Then check this arse out.

heh. Note the police blaming the workmen cos the copper rode, in full daylight, into blatently obvious cement. Hazard checking, much

[HDTboy]

Check if the diesel oil has an API rating withsomething like cf/sj on it. If it has an "s" it will be fine for spark ignition engines.

With the SR series motors, you want to take the rocker cover off and clean out the oil feed lines above the cams as soon as you buy it. Easy job and you can check if the cams are rooted at the same time

[zadok]

You couldn't move the car anyway, so it sounds like you replaced the oil more or less straight away, so I wouldn't worry about any damage. (I wouldn't anyway, not that I'm an expert).

Funny.
Very Funny.
Not Rep point funny, but,, a good effort.


I know a person, (yes, it did happen to be a woman), who topped up the car radiator up with water untill it started coming out of the dip stick!

But Biff,, do tell us next week if diesel oil is ok for petrol engines won't ya!

never tried it? it's easy.. the key is warming up before hand, and a touch of lube..

Mrs Ixion tried to do that once. Forthunately there was a safety lock thingy on the pump and she had to come and ask me how to remove it. She said "that one was cheaper". Now she refuses to do anything whatsoever on servo forecourts and goes only to servos that will give her full service. She says it is all too complicated and "they should make it simpler"

[Biff]

She says it is all too complicated and "they should make it simpler"

Colour?
Size of nozzle?
Written English?
Hmmpphhh - I am fighting sooo hard not to post anything sarcastic here.

Ooohhhh the pain......

So, if you're an arse, does that make you an Arse Biff-cuit?
