Funny, my car only smokes pretty good on start up. When it gets close to, but not all the way to op temp, its gone. No smoke at all under accel, decel, etc. Oil control rings, I'm sure....

Refilled with GTX Added a Quart of Lucas oil stabilizer , oil sits slightly above Full.
Note : Car starts like a charm now and gets to it's idle super quickly , lucas really does help with dry starts so at least there is that !
