Gotta say, Mobil 1 synthetic 10w-40 fixed up my smoke problem quite nicely! Just an oil change. It's been 2000 miles since the oil change. I noticed the fix in about 100 miles.

Really? That's pretty cool! Have you done a looong idle to really test it out? Keep us posted...

I can now go through a drive through without embarrassment. I can sit at a normal traffic light without worry.

The other day I left the car running while I chose a movie from the redbox kiosk: that was asking too much. When I pulled away, huge smoke cloud.

So I'm very pleased with the results from switching oil brand and type. Mobil 1 High mileage synthetic in 10w-40 worked wonders.
