comment Nissan Micra oil leak
Obviousy, it is not good if you lost all your oil in a month. However, we need more clarification. 1) What do you mean by 51? 2) 60 and 40 is in km/h? 3) It smelt of burning oil? 4) Was it blue oil smoke or more like a steam?

comment Determining the cause of engine failure in 1999 Ford Escort (NA)
Yes, from what I’ve read, I might want to replace the head with the one on which valve seats had been taken care off (I do not know what the fix is, but I know it exists).

I see nothing wrong with this question. Proper maintenance question, that is applicable to a wide variety of vehicles. Voted to reopen.

comment What are the benefits of low profile tires?
While it is harder to notice the low air in low-profile tyres, same goes for regulars. By the time one notices the tyres being too low, it is too late, because they were low for quite some time. There is no substitute for regular checking of tyre pressure with proper tools.
