    Hello, it's me again.
    I am thinking of changing the oil in my Fiat engine because it has not been changed for 4 years (it has done somewhere around 15,000 km).
    The current mileage of the car is less than 180,000 km (for a toddler it is a lot)
    Previously ridden on selektol 15w40.

    What do you advise me regarding engine wear?
    one at an average price of up to PLN 100
    Recently, I have noticed the oil indicator light up for 1 minute.

    Please do not write that I am waiting for a renovation because the only question is what oil?

    I do not remember what it was like in a toddler, but in other cars such lighting means a low oil level and in such a case it would be advisable to stop and refill the oil. All in all, I remember that I had it once and somehow I had to get to the gas station at least, then I was driving slowly and gently.

    As for the question itself, from what the mechanic once advised me, you can change 15 to 10 in the case of older engines, but treat it in my case as a layman's statement.

    do not replace it with a thinner one because the engine will skew, give me the lowest mineral 15w40, it will be ok, and of course the filter will be new

    I mean the pulley has to be replaced? For spelling + nonsense warning advice.

    what do you think about the lotus?
    I will not pour this for PLN 10 per liter because the engine has a good mileage and I want to drive

    and maybe some 20w 50

    Oh no buddy. This is an oil pressure light, not a low oil pressure light. Driving with the red pressure light means driving with the engine without lubrication.

    And many people think so, the red watering can needs to be refilled with oil, and then it can be swept away. Often punches come to the site where we pour a liter of oil :lol:

    And I would pour Lubro 20W50, to those older, slightly tired bikes as much as possible and the price is decent :)

    It depends on what symbols we write, because I am writing about the symbol of the red watering can.

    It is the symbol of the oil can, not the watering can, and it signals the lack of pressure in the engine lubrication system.

    As you can see, my colleague is optimistic and hopes that the engine will run hundreds of thousands of kilometers on the replacement oil. Meanwhile, we did not even know the oil level in the engine. Under what circumstances did this illumination of the control lamp occur? The engine seems to be simple, but it has its requirements. As for the current state of discussion, the answer will be "use engine oil".

    If, after replacement and with the correct oil level, this light continues to flash, first remove the oil pan and inspect the crankshaft. This shaft has two round (2-sided) metal plugs that sometimes come loose, causing the oil pressure to drop. It is enough to place this plug in the right place with a hammer and mark it around with a punch. I did it several times in these engines and the task is not difficult.

    Maybe for the summer as he found. Only when you leave him for the winter, watch how he behaves. Years ago, I poured such oil into a passing toddler and in the summer it was ok, the light came on only on a very hot engine, but in the cold it had the consistency of honey.
    Once Elf introduced an oil dedicated to Toddler with a viscosity of 15W50 to our market and it was probably the optimal viscosity for this engine.

    oil level between min. and max.
    it will pour some 15w40
    when replacing, check the shaft plugs

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around changing the oil in a Fiat 126p, which has not been changed for four years and has a mileage of approximately 180,000 km. The user is concerned about engine wear and seeks advice on selecting oil under PLN 100. Responses suggest using mineral oil, specifically 15W40, to avoid thinning the oil, which could lead to engine issues. Some participants recommend checking the oil level and inspecting the crankshaft plugs if the oil pressure light remains illuminated after the change. The importance of using the correct oil viscosity and maintaining proper oil levels is emphasized to ensure engine longevity.
