If the engine drags while accelerating and with the white large smoke, then your brother might need a new engine.

when d engine is working the smoke is not visible, smoke become visible when d car is moving maybe with speed or when is on motion. It is difficult to tell if d smoke if tick because d small is only seen through side mirror (because d smoke is seen when on motion)

Your brother needs to rebuild his engine or buy a Tokunbo engine. Then after that, he should stay away from cheap oils.

Ok you need to run a diagnostics scan

My guess is you have a weak top gasket or rings

But meet a mechanic

Could be signs of something serious

My thoughts exactly

Bad oil and merc don’t go

Also done switch oils frequently... that kills engines

@OP, i suggest you carry out a proper diagnosis on the engine. several things can cause white smoke; such as excess fuel due to a faulty fuel injection system, leaking fuel injectors etc, coolant leak etc.
i do not subscribe to a change in engine until a thorough diagnosis is carried out.
1. carry a full system scan. what error codes are stored?
2. check you PIDs i.e. log and short term fuel trims. what are the figures?
3. check your fuel injectors. an look out for any leaking injector.


all the best
