try liqua moly engine oil

if you live in a hotter place thats usually over 15'C use 5-40 liqua moly

my next oil change i will use liqua moly to see if it reduces my valve train noise

It seems that pretty much everyone who owns a 48is with the N62 is having the exact same puff-o-smoke problem. I drake the cool-aid and replaced my CCV's also and saw all of the oil residue that was being pulled back into my intake, just like everyone else.... With that being said, I am going to do plugs on mine in a few weeks and that *should* tell the real story.

Is there anyone out there with a 48is w/ N6248B that does NOT have the puff-o-smoke problem?

pezho405 by chance do you remember if the plugs were evenly colored or did any specific plugs stand out more then others?

Just a quick FYI - the changing on the crankcase vent valve did not resolve the problem. This morning I had the puff of blue/white smoke appeared while in traffic. BTW, I bought my 2006 4.4i brand new and always took care of it... for this to be happening is unbelievable.

i found changing to a 5w40 oil helped mine smoke less, althoe that could have also been the rear main seal treatment working on the valve stem seals too?

Below are the pics from when i last changed the plugs + ccv, unknown mileage on them, but i did 50,000kms with them before changing them as a rough guide....

Can anyone else confirm that the 5-20 oil change has fixed their smoking problem? I'm about to do an oil change and would like to know if this has worked for anyone else. I just don't see why it would. It seems that a lighter oil would leak past seals more, not less.

x2 I would think a 5w-40 or 10w-30 would be much better than 5w-20, 5w-20 is like water for Honda CR-V engines lol
