Why is he changing the oil and filter?! Explain to me how that is going to help anything?! That is like the mentality of putting thicking oil in an engine with rod knock. It is a band aid at best.
...
Band aid is better than no aid. I supposed I could just say, put in a 3 L ($2500) without trying the cheap stuff ($15) first. If he overrevved the engine, and he suspects that caused an engine issue, the oil is probably broken down. Why leave "bad" oil in the engine while he is trying to diagnose the issue?
