Smoking on cold start up - SHAHZ - 06-08-2018
Ok been meaning to post this up for a while, been getting a dark greyish/black smoke on cold start ups now and again, after a few revs it clears up.....having done a little reading around it seems that it could be the valve seals or the pcv valve (positive crankcase ventilation). With the latter being a couple of quid part i think i will replace it to see if helps, can anyone point me in the direction of where how i can get to it pics would be great if possible (hint hint Ormi
)ive also read that a thicker oil may help, as thinner oil may seep through the seals, i dont really think this is the case, however bit coincidental that this started a while after i changed to a thinner oil !
Anyone with any other suggestions?!

Are you using the correct oil for the car. i.e what Lexus say to use.

im using 5-30 which is with within the 'acceptable range' of grade and the recommendation of opie.....there are others that are using it too so dont really think its an issue?

Sam's answer to everyone's car troubles...
Although she forgets if we all do that then there will be less for her to own...

And we could accidentally crash one and be forced to post pictures of broken Supes........
