Honda civic reborn 2007 reducing engine oil

[pwuser17125838754]

Asalam o Alaikum, i am owner of honda civic reborn 2007 model. 200500km drive and using 20w-50w oil since last 2 year when i purchased. I use to change oil with oil filter and air filter adter every 2700km. Previously everything was ok but from last oil change, i have been facing that car has started reducing engine oil. Today i have checked with a mechanic he said its emitting smoke which seems that engine is weak and there is only 1 solution to change the engine. I nees your suggestion. Please guide.

Others can guide, but 20w50 is way too thick for that engine. You should have been using 5w30.

Engine is 200500km driven that's why mechanic recommend thick oil.

Any expert opinion please.

200k or 500k, if an engine is healthy, not consuming oil, there is no need to go to a thicker oil. It is a myth. Someone misguided you and now the damage has been done.

Experts may now guide on remedies for this.

However, if this is the same mechanic that recommended the thicker oil, I would find a better mechanic and get a second opinion first. Don't rely on the mechanic only, check things out yourself as well.
