2. fuel consumption is pretty high, 6-7 km per Lt in colombo city limits with ac on
3. i used to top up engine oil once every 2-3 months and been recently im having to top up twice every month (i've been told engine oil is burning in grand scale)
4. And very recently when i was driving,... engine started to miss fire out of no where, and when i took the vehicle for a scan and for a fix the mechanic found out there's oil on 3 out of the 4 spark plugs so they said,... oil is leaking into the plugs so it has to be fixed 1st before fixing the misfire.
5. When i last started the vehicle, there was lot of black smoke comming out the silencer, i did a plug clean up and managed to run for couple of days and now it won't even start
one of my freind said, if there's a oil leak i should try using a STP oil additive along with engine oil and it would fix engine oil leaking into the plugs temp.
aother freind told i should do a engine compression check to see the condition of the engine, pistons etc. but to do so i have to get this thing started, so im thinking the STP "engine stop leak" solution or the STP "SMOKE TREATMENT" would help me out to start my suv and take it to a garage at least.
