I have checked the dashboard, no oil light showing, just check engine light alone..

Also, I found out the mechanic I used previously used 2 different oil when he initially noticed the oil shortages, he used them to top it up SAE-40 and one other.

So what can I do now? Cos the blue smoke thingy is embarrassing

If it is shorting oil then the rings or pcv valve are gone

I would advise you to get a good tokunbo engine. Thank God it is cheap to replace

That's the plan since no remedy can be done other than either rebuilding or new engine..

Thanks very much for the advise

Pls send me the mechanic number at new guarage. He seems fair with his price. Besides I stay close to new guarage ( elebu.) Thanks

Head gasket would lead to over heating and his aluminiumengine will never start.

Don't give yourself headache based on random talk.

What you should have asked is what makes your engine bring white smoke, stating your coolant levels after using the car.
You can also state when the smoke is mostly noticeable, your temperature level after driving and probably attaching a picture of the smoke.

At worst... you might have a bad head gasket.
