Probably just unburned lubricant, Bob. Not to worry.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)

No worry. Mine does the same thing. JB is correct on his comments.

HOW MUCH SMOKE DO YOU GET FROM YOUR ENGINE?<br />ARE YOU RUNNING GOOD OIL IN IT?<br />I WOULD AGREE WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS. :D :) ;)

Every mechanic I have EVER met - both Auto and Especially Boat - say NO PENZ!<br /><br />Its a parrafin based oil that offers less protection than the asphalt based oils like Quaker State or Wal-Mart Synthetic.

Nonsense. Every source of crude has unique characteristics. Those wrenches have been listening to too much smoke. Pennsylvania crude makes excellent lubricants.<br /><br />I still recommend Super Tech.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)

My two cents. <br />I agree with JB. My '90 Ford Taurus has had Pennzoil in it from the first oil change. It now has over 215000 miles & still runs smooth & clean. <br />Bill.......

Take an engine apart that has had Quaker State burned in it for any length of time. Mine had a gray ash like substance under the top layer of oil (inside a 4 stroke). I'll take Pennz any day.<br /><br />My 2 cents ;)
