Blue smoke? An answer!

Valvoline MaxLife Motor Oil!!!!!

I went into more detail on the other topic about this same subject, but I wanted to post this in case people don't go back to the other topic.

Oil additives don't solve this problem. I've tried just about all of them. They just thicken the oil, making it drip more slowly, that's all.

Slick 50, or any of the other friction reducers, don't assist in solving the problem either. Look for my topic post about those, too, lol. My engine's gotta be so slippery inside, that I could probably drain it of oil and do my own commercial, lol.

But as I said in the other post, I began using MaxLife about a year ago. And I haven't seen any smoke for so long that I'd forgotten that I ever had a problem. It was touted as one of the best new products of the year it was introduced, and from my experience with it, I have to agree. It might not completely solve everyone's problem, but it'll sure help A LOT!

GET VALVOLINE MAXLIFE!
