One afternoon I was traveling on the highway, suddenly my car lost power it was struggling to go, so I pulled over switched the car off and on, pulled off again, and then the same thing happened. I am still not sure if the small "slapping"sound I heard came from my car. I pulled over to try again and my car never started up again. I had a look under the bonnet, it seems the air filter, plugs and other things were covered in oil. A friend of mine tried to turn the engine to see if it was locked, he did manage to turn it.

We have no info on this car as it is not sold in USA but if oil in air cleaner can be from many things like the bolt missing in turbo can cause that if engine turns over it may be something else but a mechanic should look at it.
