So I went to Mazda today for an oil change using Castrol GTX 10W30 and I had two bottles of Castrol Super TT Two stroke engine oil and guess what the idiots poured one of the TS oil bottles in my car.

So i'm wondering if its a big problem or I don't have to worry about it so much???

Hard to know for sure - my guess would be 1litre of 2 stroke mixed with 4litres of engine oil will be ok . But seeing as it was their mistake , I would ask for another oil change .....

Tekne3k

I asked them already, only problem is that dealer doesn't have non synthetic oil and I bought the last batch from the store and all the other places I went to didn't have any non synthetic oils from brands I've heard about

Hmmmmm. Intresting. Keep us updated.

Don't forget about the other 3 liters hiding in the oil cooler.....

The guy called me back he told me that 10W30 and Two Stroke oil are similar in viscosity and that It wouldn't make a difference anybody knows if this statement would be true?

Silver_Surfer

Not True. I've seen some real thick stuff like Belray & Blenzsall and thin stuff like Redline.

i would ask for 2 oil changes. one to clean it out, then drive the car a few miles, and get another.

if they don't do it, do it yourself. You can get a gallon of 10w30 for $11 or so anywhere

you got white smoke come out from all that TS?

Tekne3k

Nope no white smoke but it was one of the last bottles to be put in so I doubt its has mixed up yet, other than that haven't had or felt any problems with the engine or anything

fwiw, I spent a bit over $10 a quart for 10 quarts of RP ATF Max fluid... had to drive 30 miles to get it and went to an Aamco to get a full flush at a location near the parts store that had the RP Max ATF because the owner (same guy owns the distant Aamco as the one right down the road) says he's got an open bay for me there (business is slow) and thelocal shop was swamped.

So I make the trek and get there around 4pm last Friday afternoon and the owner had to step out. There was a single tech there and he asked what I need. I tell the guy I need a power flush and I've got my own fluid and that I'd worked it all out with the owner and he says, "no problem".

He gets her on the lift, raises her up, and proceeds to unbolt the trans pan. I scratch my head thinking maybe he'll do the flush after draining the pan... I'm not a trans expert afterall.

Anyway, after a couple minutes he lower the lift and proceeds to start pouring ATF in through the dipstick and at this point I'm like WTF. At about the same time the owner shows up and I tell him who I am, he looks out into the shop and says, "he's already topping her off?".

I tell guy, um, no, he just wasted 4 quarts of my $10 a quart RP ATF. He steps out, comes back in after a couple minutes and apologizes. Tells me, we'll make it right next Friday (that's today - next time I was available) and not to worry about the 4 quarts. The turkey tells me, "I can get that stuff for about $6 a quart anyway." I just bite my tongue. I'm thinking, "YOU ****, you let me spend $10+ a quart at the auto parts store!!!".

Anyway, he called me this morning asking what time I wanted to bring her back in today so that they could do the job right... we agree on a time... its at the local shop this time, stones throw from my house.

I show up, he's got my 4 quarts of fluid, I hand over the remaining 6, and about 45 minutes later (after watching them like a hawk) I'm all done and he tells me to come out to the car.

I scratch my head once again trying to figure out what he wants to do at the car... sing a song together, holds hands or some ****... anyway, he opens the door for me, thanks me for working with them and tries to send me on my way. I look over at him and say, "hey man, I fully expected to pay for the labor. It was admirable of you to make it right and fair is fair".

He tells me, "Don't worry about it. Just tell your friends about us.". Fsker... next time I have a problem with one of the cars, I'm now obligated to send him the business. And if they treat me right, they'll get all my meager business.

Too bad dealerships don't have a similar attitude. I'd have them flushing my oil for free for the next 6 months if they contaminated for my 4 stroke mix like that.

Sorry for the verbosity. I'd been wanting to tell the story since last week and was happy it ended on a positive note. Perhaps you'll have the same good fortune.

If you leave the 2stroke in, maybe you can pull a wheelie.
