QUOTE(ads398 @ Jan 20 2024, 10:53 PM) As you already know Oil seal/o-ring wear out and engine oil leak through it, how can you reverse it back!!! make it grow back like bones!!! If a properly maintained engine start to leak oil, normally you change to a thinker engine oil... e.g. change from 0W-20 to 0W-30 or 10W-40 etc... If the leak still continues, then change the seal/o-ring by a good mechanic. Next is overhaul with top first then full. Forget about those Treatment Oil, all snake oil  Thanks for advice! Now was using 10W-40, oil leaked from Gearbox & Flywheel weren't so bad (floor no mark) but Engine Oil Burnt is quite serious! Old Old Car 😅

QUOTE(kevinc @ Jan 21 2024, 03:20 AM) if engine is very old can try use it, why not. it's high viscosity will raise the engine oil viscosity a lil so thicker n heavier oil will leak slower n lesser at low rev low temp. observe white smokes from exhaust if it reduces. it doesn't justify to overhaul a very old engine unless u suddenly got loaded n plan to restore it can try STP's high mileage engine treatment+stop leak. also try using 20w-50 by next oil change 15 yrs, very old, haha. So far no White Smoke. 29W-50 super Kaw, must be very heavy like tarik cow 😁

QUOTE(netmatrix @ Jan 21 2024, 08:07 PM) If leaking from the gaskets and seals, and is visible on the outside of the engine, all of those are replaceable and cost much less than an overhaul. If the engine oil is burnt and exist the exhaust as smoke, then you could have piston ring, combustion cylinder or valve wear. These needs overhauling. No amount of oil plugging additive can solve that. Appreciate your advice! P Lately, Oil Burnt seriously but no "visible" smoke like white smoke blowing from exhaust! Indeed, there's burning smell from exhaust after car was started! QUOTE(kevinc @ Jan 21 2024, 09:02 PM) tarik cow better than engine burnt out tarik tow truck Hahaha ... Definitely 😁

QUOTE(ceo684 @ Jan 24 2024, 01:11 AM) Yeah after 260k km just replaced top gasket on diesel turbo. No burning engine oil. I use the cheapest mineral Caltex Delo 400 or Mobil Delvac. So, it's consider a Top Overhaul? How much it cost?
