Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / October 2005Wrong Fluid in Oldsmobile 88 Royale I need HELP!!!
I took my car to have a oil change and 1200 miles later discovered that what was in my engine didn't look, feel or smell like engine oil. I suspect it was transmission fluid.The engine had developed a knocking noise and I was told by the mechanic that it is a bad pulley. What can happen now that it has been drained and oil put in it? As long as it was some type of lubricating fluid (not antifreeze or water) then you should be ok. I would recommend changing the oil every 500 miles or so for the next 2000 miles to get the other fluid circulated out but it should be fine So what came out, was it red? Put the offending shop on notice if the engine has problems it's there deal./ >I took my car to have a oil change and 1200 miles later discovered that > what was in my engine didn't look, feel or smell like engine oil.
