99' intrigue, engine lock? Sign In
I have a 99' Oldsmobile Intrigue 3.5L Engine 130k mileage?
Basically I burned all the oil and failed to add more or get an oil change
Currently my car is operational but i know its going to lock, it turns on it can go, i hear a
clicking/puttering noise from the engine whenever goin over 3k rpm, some mechanics said its damaged and needs to be swapped, i put a couple
quartz of oil but I don't think its taking it. I am currently not driving it, I didn't drive it a lot since
I started hearing the noise and figured out the issue. Anyway to fix this problem without swapping the engine? It still
runs but probably not for long :(

 Sounds like you already know what you are going to need to do.... With that kind of abuse there are no cheap fixes.... You can try some of those snakeoil in a can wonder fixes (never know...might get lucky but I really doubt it)... at this point you probably can't do anymore damage.

The engine may not be locked up yet but that doesn't mean it isn't already ruined. When metal rubs together without any lubrication, it does permanent damage to the components that will never disappear, no matter how much "mechanic in a can" you add to it. You just can't "undo" what is already done.
