A lot of smoke

Post by **MojoMan** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 12:03 pm

Well, since I blew my first sr late last year I put another one in only to find the valve stems seals are s***...So the car has smoked slightly which is proly why it was pulled out in Japan. However it has progressivly gotten worse and I have purchased new seals but have not changed them out yet. Well anyways I usually run 10w30 mobil 1 but have decided to change to 15w-50 mobil 1. Well now that I have changed the oil it smokes almost twice as bad. I had planned to do the seals this week anyways but was curious to know why it smokes more with a heavier weight than with a lighter weight.People where honking at me and I felt really bad about all of the pollution it is causing so it is getting taken care of. I thought maybe they were honking cause I was just cute......uhhh yeah...j/k:D
