so today i went and got my oil changed....now typically i do it myself but today i decided to be a lazy a$$ and go to one of those valvoline drive through places to give them a shot and pay some random joes to change my oil...all goes well i pay like $30 and i drive about 3 miles down and i get this burnt smell going through my vents...ignored it cuz the temp was cool drive was smooth...
15 miles later i see white smoke coming from under my hood. immediately pull over and check the engine temp which was fine and popped the hood open to find that nothing was out of the ordinary.
white smoke was coming from the engine coolant was full, now i checked my oil and found like black residue in the oil stick...i was starting to think those dumb idiots ****ed $hit up by doing a crappy job of changing my oil.
i drop my plans and decide to head home to trouble shoot more. i end up in stop and go traffic and my engine starts to over heat!!!! luckily i caught the temp gauge pin rising immediately pulled over turned the hazards on and cranked the heater on full blast and began waiting for the temp to go down.
popped the hood and to my amazement i had no coolant in the container!!! waited and waited thinking that coolant would slowly fill back up as my car cooled down. i called my buddy to come by and bring me pre mixed coolant...even more bad luck my buddy gets stuck in this damn rush hour traffic and doesnt get to me for 2 hours. to make things worse he effin bought the wrong coolant.
does anyone know why the coolant leaked out?? all the hoses are cool no cracks or breaks and the radiator isnt leaking anywhere. theres no trace either of where the coolant leaked thru... maybe i didnt see it cuz it was raining and everything was lookin wet where it could of leaked.
it gets better tow truck guy shows up to move my car off the freeway almost an hour later and as he gets my car up onto his flat bed tow truck he ****ing breaks my mugen lip in half like the dumb idiot i expected him to be and decides to not charge me anything to tow my car.
so to end it all i finally get my coolant in my car and get going. about three stop lights away my car starts sputtering it jumped and hella shifted bad between 1st to 2nd gear it jerked like someone pulled my car back and pushed it forward people would say my tranny slipped but i know what that feels like, this type of jerk was more aggressive than a slip that ive experienced....now my check engine light is on.
i plan to take my car into a local shop tomorrow to get checked out...
can anyone shed some light on what went wrong with my car today?
*if these are super noob questions thats an easy fix for all the things i mentioned sorry you jerks out there who plan to tell me to search ftw.
i warned you its kindah a long story
