So, I changed my oil since I made the mistake in putting 20w50 into my engine in the dead of winter (Southern GA. We do get some cold ish winters) and my engine wasnt running right. Oil Light kept flickering....
I changed it over to 10w30 conventional oil and once it gets up to operating temp oil smoke/steam starts coming out of the oil cap breather. Which its never done. Its not a Puff puff puff type of flow its like smoke/steam from high temps.
Im wondering if I should switch to a somewhat thicker oil and full synthetic for the time being until Ive saved up the cash for a rebuild or remanned engine.
Im tempted to just see about getting a loan to get a motor. Like safe half get a loan for half.
