No sir i just got my oil changed a day before yesterday i use shell lubricant, the oil was full in reading it wasnt depleted at all though i think i have used it more than 3000 kms to 3500 kms but the technician said that oil was still in good condition, it had the elasticity portion! I use to focus on all of the oils n water before hitting the road!
I'm very much concerned about my car, i have maintained it well above my pocket but this thing is buggung me alot =(

Furtherly what are con rod bearings ?? Are they related with crank ??

Those are the main bearings between the crank shaft and the connecting rods.

You can drop the oil pan and replace the bearings but if there are excessive wear on the crankshaft journals, you would have to replace the crankshaft or machine it to an oversize.

Hey Hope you are doing great! And once again i am facing an issue this time a lil bigger one though! I was in a rush to return back my home suddenly on the way back on road my car just stopped as in it got off due to low RPM and when i tried to start it it wasn't going onn! I checked battery water and oils all in this case all were okay! Even radiator wasn't making that pressure! Though battery seemed to went down a bit as car was taking load on self! Anyhows after 15 mins the car got started but was missing badly both on petrol and CNG on low RPM when engaged in a gear at D(auto transmission) Went to mechanic not far from there he checked it and diagnosed that my head's walls are weaken enough as smoke was coming out from the oil cover when he opened it! Can you guide me as your guidence really healped be before as well! Thanks in advance =)

I don't know what nonsense the mechanic was spouting about the head walls weakening.

Symptoms indicates you most probably hads a bad cylinder and it could be the piston rings or leaking valves, which is common for CNG engines as the valve sealts tends to wear quickly for this engine.

Have the compression tested to find out which cylinder is low on pressure.

Sir.. hope you are doing great.. Now i got some transmission issue with my ride.. I was driving my car suddenly it started giving whirling and grinding sounds and from gear box basically.. Now that i was driving the gear was on D suddenly the car became neutral automatically i mean it stopped giving power to engine. I restart the car and put the gear to D it went great however this issue remained there and the gear is not shifting and not engaging so.. I have changed the oil and throttle cables too but it dint effect much
Any advice mechanic says that the plates of gear needs to be redone how ever i am confused what to do..

What transmission do you have? Symptoms indicates the transmission either has internal faults or some control components are not working correctly. Check for trouble codes.
