some1 said it could be the oil in my car that is too thin and thats why sometimes i get smoke is this true

it could be, what oil you using?

 

but id imagine it you be more then just on deceleration,

 

takes a few mins to change the oil and filter, would be good for it regardless of if it stops the smoke.

 

if your stuck im only down the road from you, i could always give you a hand.

what oil would you suggest something slightly thicker

what grade you using?

 

part or fully synthetic?

 

think normal is to use 5w30 synthetic oil, well its what we put in them when servicing.

 

 

i personally use, Silkolene PRO S 5W-30 Ester Synthetic

Thought the standard oil was 10w40? That's what I've got in there.

its just what we use now in our servicing, we don't put 10W40 in anything unless a customer specifically asks for it.

 

the thinker grades probably better for the older engines, but i've never had a problem with 5W30.

 

i was recommended on using silkolene by the olie oil guys at japfest

Thought the standard oil was 10w40? That's what I've got in there.

That`s what i thought i use 10w40.

Mine smoked like hell on idle with castrol edge 5w40 in it (only in 1200 miles :( ) but didnt smoke any other time.

 

Iirc smoke on de-cell can be a sign of turbo seal failure or possibly rings.Tonym's smokes on decell and a compression test revealed low compression on no.6 cylinder.

just got the manual out and your both right, should be 10W40, for normal conditions my bad,

 

5W30 is a winter/cold start oil. but its what olie oil recommended for my spec so im happy.

 

 

what an idiot i've been calling them olie oils for ages and its actually opie oils... opps
