Suggestions for Suzuki Swift Engine Overhaul

Hey everyone,

I have a 2013 Suzuki Swift DX with about 101,400 km on it. Ive noticed that Im losing oil—about 2,000 km after changing to 10W-40 ZIC, the oil level is already halfway between the top and bottom marks. Im also having some trouble with acceleration when driving in hilly areas it feels like the car is struggling under load.

I took it to a mechanic, and he mentioned that the engine might need an overhaul. Ive heard mixed things about overhauling a chain engine, though, and Im not sure if thats the best route to take. If anyone has experience with overhauling their engine, I’d really appreciate any insights.

Thanks!

101,400 km isn’t too much for an engine to need an overhaul. But with all the fake engine oils out there, that might be part of the problem. Before you decide, get a couple of opinions from trusted local shops. As for my 2013 Swift, its had some overheating issues but isn’t losing oil o r smoking, so I’m hesitant to open the engine just yet.
