HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

it runs hella bad and smokes and the oil temp is now running at 120. smokes bad. IT was 100% good till i put in more oil, same oil I have used for ever. comes in a brown jug, and i added 4 qt of tranny fluid to the tanny filler tubebecause it was low, stuff in the yellow bottles. Then all of a sudden it runs bad. I did spill some oil and a tiny amount of tranny fluid. Now the temp gauge for oil is higher. Before it was around 60-70 now 120. then when i start it the next morning it sounds fine. after i drive it for like 5 minutes a faint burnt oil smell is noticed. Then I starts to smoke and sound like a desiel engine. 1992 audi v8q

drain the oil and refill the correct amount ( over filling is as bad aslittle oil ) chances are its blowing excess oil on the exhaust through the dip stick

edit: the tranny should be topped up with the engine running and up to temp on level ground ( assuming its and automatic );)

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I think you may be correct. This wouldnt have anything to do with making it run and sound bad??? One friend said to clean the engine with a degreaser for flinges and vlaves etc.

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I just did a quick edit up there about the tranny fluid

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I am thinking it may be the oil because soon as i filled it the cars oil temp went up and it smokes and runs real bad. so im going to change the oil. after than should i clean anything specific in the motor? It threw no codes

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

hmm hard to answer because you might have blown a gasket but running it for a while and the smoke stops would be good otherwise its a diagnostic/eye ballto see whats wrong and where its leaking

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

good thing with the V8 is you can see what side the leak is and that's a saving;)

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Running it a while and the smoke starts. I hope it can make it to the shop on tuesday.:(:(
