Engine clunking/smoking after oil change- HELP!!
 

Hey guys,

I just changed the oil in my car (my first oil change btw). I followed the instructions on ak's DIY thread. I drove around the block a little and checked for leaks. There aren't any. I turned it back on and now it's clunking and smoking pretty bad. It also looks like I burned off almost a quart trying to start it. Now it won't turn on at all. Any suggestions on what could be the problem?

Did you get anything else in that engine when you put the oil in?
What oil?

Btw- I don't know if it makes a difference but I used Castrol ester oil That I got on amazon because it was cheaper than Nissan ester oil:

Technical Chemical - Ester Oil, 32 oz. (6710):Amazon:Automotive

What you're describing sounds like oil in your fuel line or at least oil in your cylinders. Are you certain it was filled before you drove it? Any chance of a foreign object in the oil or oil filter?

April fools?

I hope so!

You probably drained out the manual transmission fluid instead of the engine oil - I did that once.

This is either another April fools joke, or its about to get real ugly for you. From the picture, that isnt motor oil at at. Its refrigerant lubricant. Oh man this reminds me of another thread where a guy put Brake oil in his engine.

Okay, whew. That HAS to be April fools. I should have looked that that photo of the castrol bottle.

Good one!

Do you think I should try to flush out the oil then? If it's ester oil (recommended by nissan) it should be fine right?

:facepalm:

At least PM me to say you didn't really put A/C lubricant in your engine.

Is that what it is?? It's made by castrol....and I read on here that Nissan recommends ester oil

Do you think I ruined my engine?

april fools you bastard:rofl2:

I wish this was just an April fools joke but it's not. If you guys can't help me fix a problem then forget it

Brb I'm going to try flushing it

uh oh i think this might turn into that Firebird Trans am thread

geeeezzz...
totally with you on this one.. noone could've said it any better....

IMO April fools.

Just did a search on the brake fluid in the engine guy.:icon17:

Couldn't go through all the pages, but man that was funny.

Holy **** dude, that is straight refrigerant :o

:driving: Drive your Z backwards, retracing all the steps you took prior to your oil change. Drain the new oil and remove the new oil filter; pour your old used oil back in; replace your used oil filter. Everything should return to normal!

You had me shivering and vowing to never try this on my own.... ever...

ROFL this one made me crack up. APRIL FOOLS EVERYONE!!

Yeah sure...

:happydance:

fill up the engine with brake cleaner fluid. that would clean out all the oil you put. now flush it out and put power steering fluid in it. that will help seal the rings. now flush that out and fill up the engine with that sealant fluid for head gaskets, to prevent head gasket failure. after that, drain everything out, and fill up with oil and change the filter. now, because you wore out the bores of the cylinders you will need slightly thicker than usual oil, so use 75w90 gear oil instead of the ester oil. do this and you'll be just fine, with no problems for the rest of the car's life.

:iagree:

Thats good cuz I was about to take your car away from you for being a DUMB AZZ.

On another note if he really did this he wont have to worry about his oil getting hot. LOL

:bowrofl: :bowrofl::bowrofl: Well done sir. I actually took it seriously. :tup:

Wow that was a lame april fools joke, you didn't keep it going long enough and it was a direct copy of that thread we have all read recently

If you stuck to your story and made it more unique to the z, just kept it going past april fools, build it up to at least 10 pages then BAM you catch Frost with his pants down in the cookie jar no less
