So, after getting my oil changed at the dealership with "full synthetic Mobil One" I noticed a huge cloud of blue smoke on cold start up. 300k plus on the engine and I'm the original owner. Never had much for issues with the engine (jinx), burns some oil when I drive it hard, but maybe a quart in 8k miles. But never any blue smoke. So after a few weeks and noticing the oil getting really black and then adding 3!! quarts within the first 2k miles after the oil change I'm thinking the engine is toast. I quickly looked thru prior recommendations on BITOG and tried a couple of the additives suggested, more than once...no help. Long story short, I changed the oil myself with off the shelf Mobil One Full Synthetic high mileage (what I have been using since 150k) - no more issues.
What they put in for oil I have no idea. Maybe the kid grabbed the wrong oil gun? 8k on the oil change and hasn't burned any oil and no blue smoke.
Appreciate all the help from this site. Thought I would share my adventure!
