Loud cracking noise
As I was driving the car home last night and I got to about three blocks from home the engine started making a loud cracking sound as if it was eating a rod or valve. The power was down and oil pressure was very low.
I have taken great care of this car but now I suspect since my last oil change that the place I took it to for an oil change may have done me a huge disfavor.
When i got the car it used standard 10-30 wt oil and ran on it fine. When I took it in two weeks ago to the shop they told me according to their computer it should be on Synthetic 5w30.
It cost more to use and they told me it is recommended.
Now I have an engine I think is junked. Would the synthetic oil do this?
I drive an 83 944 in great shape and now it sits till I test it's compression.
