Is This Gonna Effect My Engine ? by keezy125(m): 7:51am On May 04, 2016
Hi gurus... I drive benz c180 & I had plans on travelling to benin from Enugu last Sunday & I was unfortunate I didn't check my car before then. On Sunday morning, I started checking & noticed I ran in shortage of oil. I called my mechanic & he said I should top it with road side oil, please I need to know if it has any effect on the engine

Roadside oil is the worst thing to happen to/for your engine lubrication.
Not unless you don't cherish your engine, then topping up with groundnut oil or palm oil, might have the equivalent lubrication!!!!

Your car came with a book called owner's manual, right? Read it bro.

Hello Keezy125,

You need to educate you mechanic so other people won't fall victim. It's better to just go into a Mobil filling station and ask for a recommended oil.
