The other day I was helping a friend out, by giving him a jump start. So I popped my hood while my car was running at idle. Hooked up his bat & mine. And noticed that my engine starting nocking and clacking. I was trippin on it, because it was getting worse. So I instantly shut it down.
Checked my oil level, and sure enough, it was F-N real low. So I drove my car,"like an idiot" for about 5min, to get some oil. So, a total of about 8min of running, on a 170k mile engine, w/full synth. Do you guys out their think I wasted my eng??? Should I find a good/used long block, or rebuild. Noise is gone after I topped my oil off............. Thanx for any sugg..........
