yes, if it was me I would probs flush it out, as long as it's not running for longer than 10 minutes,

If there us any trouble with clogging etc the oil pressure light will come on before anything serious will happen,

How about diesel oil inside the 4efte? Any good or bad effect in performance?

Just about all automotive oils are for both petrol and diesel. You can tell this by the API or ACEA specs printed on the can. Even oils labelled as diesel oils are for both, its just to help the customer.

Are you able to find out exactly what oil was used?

I'll be looking in the garage for the oil can. However the car was planned to compete for a quarter mile next month, does using the diesel oil has any advantages since it absurbs more heat and sludge? Any efect also in turbo oiling system performance?

Chao!

My friend's 4efte car got flooded during typhoon and the water reached the ceiling of the car. Since the car was flooded, water penetrated the inside the engine bay.

after the flood was gone, the car was towed to a garage, After doing the all of sort basic thing to dry up the car, the mechanic flush out everything inside the car and replace it with diesel oil. Then after a while started the engine. it took a while for the

engine to run, then another flush out and replaced again with a diesel engine. then the car runs.

Questions : Is that ok using diesel engine oil inside the 4efte? what would be the effect of using diesel oil inside that engine?

Also what is the right method of recovering the flooded engine and retoring it back to normal?

More Power Guys! Big thanks!
