Default Anyone had this probelm????

I switched to Royal purple from Mobile1 and now i have an odor coming from my exhaust along with a little puff of smoke under hard acceleration. Could the oil be causeing this problem, it just doesn't seem to burn as clean as the mMobile 1. Any inputs?

I'd try the German Castro 0W30 or if you can't find GC try the Mobile 1 0W-40 and see how that works.

Other than the advice I gave you above, I highly recommend you consult the experts at
bobistheoilguy.com

They live for oil problems like LS1tech.com lives for F body problems.
