Hello, For a while now, I been noticing that my engine makes a loud noise and doesnot move well in gear 1,2. I thought it was the leather clutch and after changing it, the engine still behave the same. I asked a Mechanic who told me to service it again. The last time I serviced it was 1st week of September. Some people recommended Mobil 1, some Total but I want to know the right engine oil to use. Thanks. 1 Like 1 Share |

Do you hear a kpom kpom sound when it moves from gear 1, then also when you open the bonnet at idle do you also hear kpa kpa kpa sound, listen well and revert? |

nurey:Not at all. but it doesnt move the way it used to unless I am on speed. But to get to that level when the engine will be very relax even at low speed, I will be on gear 3 |

nurey:it is a manual transmission car. I used sea horse oil before now. And it has been 5 months since my last servicing. Although, I dont drive it often not until recent. Pls, advice what to do? |

Rogosa:not necessarily servicing, but that sea horse would have degraded change oil and let another mechanic give you a working diagnosis. my guess is the engine is weak 1 Like |

Rogosa:I am curious to see the M52 engine on your E36? I am aware that E36 do carry M40/M42 engines but never knew that it carries M52 as well. A picture of the engine bay will do. Thank you 1 Like |
