Some other observation: I tried to start it this morning and to my surprise, there were no rough idle. It was giving rough idle last night (That's after the oil cleanup from plug #2 over the weekend), but not this morning, may need to observe it few more days to see if the rough idle gone for sure
So I drove it to work today( 45 miles). Was watching the exhaust and temperature gauge all way along. The only time I saw smoke from exhaust was when I was punching the gas pedal above 4000 rpm on a freeway entrance ramp, uphill. There was no smoke at all when cruising at 70mph and at idle. Temp gauge goes up till 12 o'clock and stayed there all along the drive |
Jim, I usually change oil every 5000 miles, its around 1 quart less when I empty the used oil
