Ok, I'll just get to the point. I know exactly why my 3.7 has lost power. I think I may have touched 7000 miles before I changed the oil. It was full synthetic Castrol GTX, but even so, it was way overdue when I finally changed it again yesterday. Working night shift is tough, and it has enhanced my procrastination.
Even After I changed my oil, it still has a noticeable lack of power. My engine's running a couple hundred RPMs higher on the interstate, and even small grades require that I hit the accelerator harder.
My questions revolve around what I have to do to get my power back. Engine flushes? Or is my problem probably more serious and costly? (Which would be my luck)
I took a look at this stuff as well. Sounds about right; compression loss due to not changing my oil. Go figure, I know. Here's the link.http://www.restoreusa.com/Engine_Restorer.html?gclid=CLiph_Xc-pwCFZJM5QodOXrDbA
Any help would be appreciated guys.
