It is a EJ20 twin turbo , has dip sticks on either side of the tranny. When going along it seems to stick in the same gear and have no power, and shudders a bit at about 50kmh sometimes, does this mainly when cold , or when its been switched off for a hour or so.
Checked the dips sticks , it appears to have clear/yellow oil, smells like engine oil , not red like normal.
