Went for a long(ish) drive tonight, mainly motorway, not giving it any stick at all.

Got to my destination, and i left the car ticking over for about 10 mins, whilst i sat and ate my Mcd's...

When i pulled away, there was a lot of blue smoke, only for a few seconds though, first time it's happened.

Stopped the car, let it idle for a while again to see if it would do it again, but nothing.

Any ideas ?

 

Normally valve guide wear would do this.

 

Could be overfill of oil?

But probably valve seal.

 

Oil looks to be ok, although it's running 0/40, which i know is too thin, and this is getting changed this week.

Tried it again this week, ran the car for a while, let it sit for 10 mins, then pulled awy and it was fine. ????

A bit strange, will keep an eye on things.

Ta lads.

 

Ah yes 0 is far too thin for a Subaru
