Re: Too much white smoke/fumes. Pls help.
The last time I put a bunch of oil in an engine- it was because my dipstick was not going into the oil pan- it was sliding through a joint into the open air and not reading the oil level at all. Be sure yours is okay. The smoke could be because you have 5 quarts too much oil in your engine now.
If smoke is absolutely white, then that usually means you are burning coolant- have you been losing coolant on your radiator?
The best way to measure oil properly would be to drain it and put in the proper amount listed in the owner's manual under oil capacity.
Engines won't run well at all with too much oil in them--probably act like what you are experiencing...
