Consumer Description

TRAVELING DOWN PET SITES ROAD ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN I NOTICE MY CAR SUDDENLY RUNNING HOT. I PULLED OVER AT THE NEAREST SAFEST PLACE TO DO SO AND PROCEEDED TO CHECK MY FLUID LEVELS. AS I WAS UNSCREWING THE WATER RESERVOIR CAP I NOTICE WHAT SHOULD BE ANTI-FREEZE AND WATER MIX, IS A MUDDY BROWN COLOR. I FELT THE SUBSTANCE AND THEN REALIZED IT WAS OIL IN MY RESERVOIR, AND ALMOST ALL MY OIL HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM MY ENGINE AND IM GUESSING WAS DISPLACED TO MY RESERVOIR. MY CAR NEVER ONCE HAS ACTED LIKE IT WANTED TO RUN HOT, NOR HAD IT UNTIL 6-19-2013. *TR
