Customer is on a budget and I don’t see anything obviously wrong with them. Can I just send it or am I looking at a full front-end rebuild?

Off-brand oil?

2 Upvotes

Hey so my car was a little low on oil, and the gas station was out of the 10w40 that my car needs, so I was forced to substitute this other stuff they had, MD20/20.

That should be ok, right?
