Julz89 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 we had a customers car come in for a service afta 60000km and 2 yrs lol it wasnt thin but was all thick and burnt lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/230423-engine-oil/#findComment-4049221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluey33 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 LOL I had a similar scenario about a month ago though the car was in for a 20,000 though it was on 136,000 and also 2 years later, though the oil was quite thin, but I would not say water thin. Still had the original sticker to be serviced at 20,000 on it. But that isn't to say it wasn't done by someone else. As far as the engine oil breaking down to be as thin as water. The viscosity will break down in the oil the more use it gets but to what extent I cannot say.

r33_racer Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 needs to be 'watered down' to get thin. As said, old oil normally gets thicker and blacker. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/230423-engine-oil/#findComment-4050723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
