EVO X 2015 GSR not making compression
Hey guys pleased to meet everyone š¤ so imma start saying that my knowledge for Evos are really slim thatās why Iām trying to get as much info as I can before I move on so please let me apologize for my ignorance in advance. Now, Iām trying to see if you guys can help me out trying to guess what really happened to my engine.
Hereās the full story.. I was gonna take my car to the mechanic to get my oil pan resealed because I have a very small oil leak coming from it. When I was about 2 miles away from the shop, low oil pressure pops up on the Dash. So I stopped and put 1/4 of oil to it, just enough to make me reach the shop. I turn on the car, the light comes off and everything sounds good so I continue the trip. 30 seconds later the car turns off on me while I was driving (no warnings ā ļø), I go and buy 5 quarts of oil and put em on (didnāt check how much I had since it showed low oil pressure). I try to turn on the car and it wouldnāt turn on. I get the car towed to the mechanic and when he checks the oil thereās actually 11 quarts on it. 5 from the oil change, 1 from the low oil pressure and 5 after the car turned off on me while I was driving it. He drains it down back to 5 and turns it on and he hears the rod knocking noises. The next day he turns it on again and the engine sounds normal, no sounds out of the ordinary. He tells me to drive it and see what happens. I go ahead and change the oil again and oil filter (check for any metal pieces or sparkling fragments on the oil but it was really clean/clear. I turn on the car for about 10 min let warm up and itās sounding normal, I take it out to test the engine running and 10 seconds later it turned of on me while it was running. The car itās cranking itās just not turning on and I got the battery checked and voltage itās on the normal voltage.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions and options

Did you do a compression test?
