I Hope This Is Normal!!!

Hi to all,
I did a burnout with my 2002 SS and looked in the rearview and saw a lot of blue smoke. Will burning rubber make blue smoke on the pavement?? I sure hope so. I switched to Royal Purple 5-30W today before the burnout.
Thank You,

Robert

first burnout??????????

Not first, but have not had the car more than two weeks, It is the first time I noticed color of smoke at burnout area.

Robert

Robert

Yes , synthetic. The manufacturers claim it will give up to 3% increase in performance. Motorcyclists use it commonly. Go to royalpurple.com
I bought it at a local parts supplier (NAPA) The guy there said one of his customers swears by it. I first heard about it on this forum.

Robert

Nice i will have to go buy some for my next oil change. thanks

No i did not why is that?

5.80/qt it had better be something that.......... no, i can't think of a reason i would pay that much

Not true. When synthetics first became popular manufacturers were nevrous about the conventional oil and synthetic not mixing properly. the systems are very refined now and you can go back and forth if you choose. Not sure why anybody would goto regular oil after using synths though.

Thank you i have been wondering that all night

thats good to know...

well, thats kinda an old wives tale, the truth is you cant use it on break in, but you can go back from synthetic to regular oil without causing any damage to an engine.

why can't you use it for break in?

its to slick it doesnt coat the block right on break in
