How do I tell if oil is mixed with water or petrol?
Oil has gone brown and cloudy which suggests water, but I can't see any separation after oil change. Also oil seems to maybe smell of petrol. Oil is very thin and not sticky like a new batch, or indeed a well-used old batch.
Other symptoms are huge loss of power, so it's now more like 9.9 rabbits than horses.
Occurred when I accidentally put on full revs for several seconds, and I can't verify whether the oil tester was fully inserted and whether petrol got in there after being dumped by the carbs.
What's your best guess, folks?
p.s. oil change did not solve the problem at all and engine sound is like a diesel tractor, very dull and ultra low revs.
