Oil shortage and overheating issues
Hey guys,
So I just got my car Back from the body shop, I took it back becAuse there were a few details they missed. But anyways my car started overheating and I found a radiator leak from one of the loose hoses so I figuered that was it but there was plenty of fluid in there. Come to find out I was missing almost 2 quarts of oil, the guy put 2 quarts of 10/40 in it, I had synthetic in it....... ( my father took he car to him, I had to work) will the mix affect my engine? I plan on doing a full tune up ASAP . Also what would be the reason I was missing the 2 quarts if i didn't have a leak? Could my front end accident have caused that? The hood they put on it is plastic btw, the car feels so much lighter. Thanks for your time!
