Does FHS SmokeLess oil work?

Does FHS SmokeLess oil work?

We know FHS SmokeLess Oil works 99.9% of the time to stop oil related smoking. It has been used in 1000’s of cars and we keep getting repeat customers.

Will synthetic oil smoke less?

Smoke coming from the exhaust after a vehicle has warmed up is attributed to oil burning during the combustion process. A switch to a more stable, synthetic oil would be the way to stop a blue-tinged smoke from emerging from the exhaust. It will likely lead to the area of the engine causing the smoke.

Can old oil make a car smoke?

Engine noise can also occur when the oil is old and has lost its viscosity (ability to lubricate). Generally, blue smoke is caused by oil seeping into the engine and being burned along with the fuel. Your engine will be low on oil, as well.

Does synthetic oil smoke like regular oil?

Synthetic oil generally smokes much less than regular. I suspect you see smoke now because you are using a much lower viscosity, the heavy weight oil probably didn’t leak by as much so it didn’t make as much smoke. I don’t see any reason the old oil would get “burnt off” if it wasn’t burning before.

Will car smoke if low on coolant?

Low coolant can sometimes cause a head gasket on your engine block to blow. If this happens, you may notice smoke emitting from the engine or tailpipe, a loss of power, engine knocking sounds, or decreased efficiency.

What does it mean when your car is smoking but not overheating?

The most common answer to, “Why is my car smoking but not overheating?” is that there’s a type of fluid that’s landed on the engine. This can be motor oil, fuel, transmission fluid, coolant, or even condensation. It can cause your engine to smoke because it’s burning off that fluid from the engine.

How do I fix white smoke from my car exhaust?

This generally happens because of a cracked or leaking head gasket, which allows coolant to seep into your cylinders. In extreme cases, you will need to replace your head gasket. At the first sign of white smoke you can try head gasket repair treatment to seal the leak before you do serious damage to your engine.

Can synthetic oil cause white smoke?

White smoke most likely would indicate that water or coolant is getting into the combustion chamber or exhaust port. Another cause of the smoke could be that the oil originally in the engine was a mineral oil but was replaced with a synthetic oil, which has a greater cleaning effect on varnish and soot deposits.

Can a bad water pump cause white smoke?

White smoke means you are burning coolant. That won’t happen from the water pump gasket. Check at the bottom of the water pump and see if it is leaking out of the weep hole. This means the pump is failing….and most likely a separate issue from burning coolant.
