Sorted by black smoke!

Got round to servicing the 110 today, now I have changed the filthy air filter & stuck a new fuel filter
on it's cleaners than a nuns thoughts!

The oil has now been changed to 20/50 as opposed to the very thin oil I put in by mistake, that seems to
have cleared any blue smoke on start-up too!!

Here's to another 234k!

I'll have to do an oil change this weekend, does it matter what brand
of oil is used? and filters? or is one 20/50 the same as the other?

It's really annoying having to warn people standing behind me that
they're about to be covered in smoke.

thanks

Get one that is designed for high mileage engines (if it is over 75k etc!)

I put 5w50 (subaru engine oil) in mine by accident a month ago, only done 100 miles or so but the smoke
on startup is not good! Good job i didnt put the heavy stuff in the Subaru!

It really does make a difference for older engines, mines done 234k now, no blow by & sounds like a new
engine, even at startup. Mind you, all 2.5 NA diesels are rough as **** anyhow!

I was going to ask "in the biblical sense?", but there wouldn't really be
any other way, would there?

I hope you said three Hail Marys afterwards - or Hail Dorises or whatever
she was called.

Did she have a burning bush? <fnarr fnarr>
