Did a few things today. || Update on Valve seals smoke problem

[pezho405]

Hey guys, many of you have said that using a 5-40 / 10-40 oil will help with the smoking at idle, smoking on extended idle issue. I know its Valve seals but as someone on here tried Mobil 1 High milage 10-40 and he said it helped alo so i decided to try.

I dont live in a cold place and most likley the oil will be changed again before winter.

So heres the result: IT kinda WORKED, well its muuuuch better and the smoke was cut down about 1/2 or 2/3 of how it was before. I can live with it.

This is the oil i used, i got it at walmart 50$ for both as opposed to advance 70+, and they didnt have the big jug either just the little bottles which were 9$ a piece.

Heres a video:


Questions: How far is it safe to go? is it safe to maybe try x-50 oil or even the BMW M car recomended 10-60? I feel like it would cut down on smoking but im also afraid it will be to thick.

Well the car is pretty much sold to my friends sister, getting $7500 for it, keeping the 87s, ill return all the normal bulbs, take off the tint and clean it up before i let it go.

Sadly after 2.5 years of owning it and knowing that you can code it to roll the windows back up using the remote i never got the chance to code it. The Autologic at work, i played with it MANY times and never found the option but today I DID!! It was just worded very strange like DWE or something, well it works!! So hapy but kinda upset i figured it out 2 weeks before its gone.


Also coded the Acoustic unlock off just visual and kept the Acoustic lock. Easier to be stealthy or not wake anyone up constantly when i forget something in the car

Found the source of the sound in my suspension... My tie rod was loose....
Tightened it up and no more noise, i have no idea how it came loose..
