I just changed the brake in Castrol GTX oil with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic and Mobil 1filter after two weeks of cam install. Now the car (smokes) at idel and then as you drive the smoke clears and does not come back. only at cold start. Is this normal with Synthetic oil?

Why are you using such a heavy weight. Your location where you live isnt extreem cold. If I were you I would use only 5w or 0w. 10 IMO is too heavy of a weight. You probably are smoking a little because of some oil laying somewhere from where you were working, that will burn off over time, so I wouldnt worry about that, but if it smokes alot after warming up then you might have bigger problems.

As for me?
Wal-mart Supertech. Unless you are road racing, just change the oil regularly and anything with a API approval is just fine.
