not a problem,,
-oil bubbles on dipstick. Oil still looks new
-no leaks.
-not smoking (started and ran in garage)
-engine sounded fine (used rod against engine block,, new alternator, the most noise )
----- had previous overheat due to heater hose leak (temp. needle pegged) ,, alarm for 15 sec's,, pulled over & fixed -- ate 1-2 quarts of oil,, topped with 5-20 for 50 miles then changed.. had 15 lbs Oil Pres. , THOUGHT low weight oil caused reading,,
maybe water added too cold??
