Many thanks for your answer Jagdpanzer.

Definitely I'm changing the oil of my sooner the sooner I can. As it's not possible to get fully synthetic 10W-40 engine oil here, I'll ask a friend in the US to send me some gallon bottles of 10W-30 Mobil 1. I've already received a couple of Bosch oil filters, both PCV valves and a K&N air filter I'll have installed the day we replace the oil.

Using 10W-60 may be one of the reasons for the car not to run very fast until it reaches 2000-2500 RPM. I don't know how to explain, but if you hit the gas it doesn't accelerate progressively, it feels as if there were some kind of jamming or something. Maybe the ignition system is not working properly so I'm thinking about changing spark plugs, spark plug wires and even the distributor rotor.
