Mazda 6 - Mazda 6 sport estate killed by too much oil! - Flea603
Hi all, I may have killed my car.... Put in some oil, not crazy amount but enough... Was driving, and it started revving like crazy with lots of smoke! Managed to stop and all lights on dash. It now will try and start but not turn over... Garage have mentioned dpf and rocker.... Anyone know if this is fixable or if I am in mega trouble just before Christmas!! Please help!

Is it a diesel ?

If yes, then it may be terminal to the engine

Couple of possibilities:-

A)Oil seal failure of the turbo - engine run-away running on the oil. Check for oil on the air intake side after the turbo

B)Excessive diesel in the sump oil dues to DPF regeneration failures . Smell the oil on the dipstick. If no oil left then refer to A)

If the car doesn't turn over then things don't sound promising - however best of luck
