It was making some noise, recently. So I went to see my mechanic.
“When was the last time you did an oil change?”
Me: “Uh… Years?”
Him:
No oil gauge to find, he opens the oil tank:
It’s not oil. It’s like pudding. The engine is probably clogged like crazy, hence the noise and shaking.
And so I go on my bicycle to go buy some oil flush that he doesn’t have in stock. He did almost three flushes.
He kept repeating “that’s insane that it didn’t break. You’re lucky.”
Suzuki Gang! Sorry, it’s just that there are three identical cars like mine around and we wave at each other sometimes. Anyway, the car is now back to purring nicely. And yes, in six months, oil change. I’m so sorry.
(I think I avoided the worst by driving rather smoothly on surface streets, stressing my engine the least possible basically)
