Intrepid SE 2.7L V6
At first the engine would smoke from the tailpipe on and off, and my mechanic advised to change the engine, cost approx cad $3000.00. My friend, a truck mechanic, told me to use 'Engine Oil Plus 50' for older cars and I did ever since till today. However, I do not put pressure on the gas pedal and maintain my speed limit. This entire ordeal is very frustrating but I live with it. Chrysler should be held responsible for this defect. The problem is that oil enters the combustion chamber and emits smoke from the exhaust. The plus50 helps a lot so long as I do not put pressure on the gas pedal. I am also certain there is certain amount of sludge build up??!!! Some months I pour in 2.5litres when required and it helps. But, this is annoying, I tell you, and I use the car when I have to.
Currently I am at 234000.00 kms. I hope this helps you guys out there, and take it easy on the car.
