concerned?? or should i be ?

[t5tart]

ok new turbo is on ...took it for a spin ...no sign of blue smoke left her ticking over gave her a bit of well all clear wohoo


however ...... this morning pulled off the drive with the engine cold ...part throttle not wot ... puffs of blue smoke at gear change
have just been for a 125 mile run up the motorway ....no real signs of blue smoke again .......have to see what happens when its all cooled down again ??


could this be residule oil in the intercooler system ??

garage have put mobil 1 0-30 fully synthetic in......is this too thin ??

or am i being an old woman again ...

oh ahve also noticed smoke from the dipstick again !!!! think one of the internal pipes may well be blocked....anyone know anything to shift the crud out of the internal drain without stripping it all out ???

apart from that she is flying :)

i think its too thin for the milage its covered. swap to 10w40.

[iGGy]

Probably too thin even for a new engine here. Got visions of it bleeding oil from every orifice.

lol tarty....
i have to say tho i agree with the others that it is too thin for a car with your miles as the gaskets may be dry and unable to withstand the lack of viscosity...i am current using halfrauds semi 10/40 with 5000 mile filter and oil changes
the oil debate will no doubt rumble on....... :talktohan

[t5tart]

well questioed it wth im too
bloody £47 for oil
its alot of money to chuck i the bin really aint it


think ill go back and ask him to change it for the rcomeded oil

[madness]

defo.

i had something similar on my r5gt.
put in mob 1 and immediately got blue smoke so put in magnatec 10w40 and all fine.

[t5tart]

just rung him he does not agree
says it should have the best oil in it it can

i tend to agree with you guys
think this oil is just slipping between the bearings

[madness]

Or past the rings is our bet.

just threaten him. ur a big bloke :troutslap

if you want some cheap i can do after you beat him up

[t5tart]

persuaded him to change it.... dunno if he is intending to give me a bill for it though



may take you up on some anyhow

what ya want for it let me know

think im gonna do a compression test
see if i can see anything
i really cant be affording any more work on the engine for a while

[siamblue]

Tell him it is not the recomended oil for the car, that should swing it,

Gary.

[t5tart]

have done just a case of see if he tries to present me with a bill
