    P0125 Code and Loss of Power

    When you say the oil looks like diesel oil, I take it you mean it is black? Look inside the engine via the oil fill hole with a strong light and look for dark accumulations of sludge from using petroleum oil. If the oil is very dark in a short period of time, the engine is either sludged up...
