ok i just changed the oil on my car and the filter. I used castrol 10w40 oil cause i have high mileage amd a mobile m1 205 oil filter. When i finshed the car wasnt driving right. It takes a while for it to get in to gear like i put it in drive then it will rev up then shift into gear and i dont know what the problem could be???

 

Are you sure you drained the right oil


haha

Might check the fluid in your tranny and see if everything looks good there make sure its not leaking.

how many miles you have on the tranny itself?

 

changing the oil and filter wont do that, was it acting that way before you did anything??

 

well i drained the oil im sre of it was the closet to the engine and it was an allen key bolt. Ahh i drove the car up the hill and white smoke started to come out of the exhuast could having to much oil in the car be causing this? i put 4 quarts.

 

I was changing the oil on my A4 yesterday and i accidentelly flushed my tranny fluid....now i have no fluid and too much oil in the engine....I learned something tho.....Dont change your oil.....Have a experienced person do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot can go wrong by simply trying to change the oil!!!!

 

I can't believe some people screw up oil changes.... it just amazes me....

 

its quite simple to what you say screw up if your not mechanically minded first off you must remember how much the oil filter takes on fill and was it purged ( filled with oil before fitting )

 

first off if i drained the transmission fluid it would be red right not a dirty brownish color? second if i put 4 quarts of oil is that too much?

 

ahhh its an automatic?????????

 

yes its an auto
