Exhaust Smoke Like Crazy!
 
Hey guys, I have a s5 TII and i run premix
I just noticed that my exhaust started smoking like crazy. Usually i ran a good quality tc-w3 premix brand from like autozone with a ratio of 100:1 (1 ounce per gallon). But then i switched to some walmart brand called Supertech and i dont know if it was before or after i added this new brand that my car started smoking a lot. I tried diluting my gas with more gasoline because i thought i put too much premix but nothing worked.
The smoke looks to be blue. Could a bad apex or side seal cause smoking problems of the sort or the turbo seals? im trying to figure out if its just the brand of pre mix that sucks or if its something else.

Im gonna try and empty my gas tank and refill with new fuel and good premix to see if that works.. probably this weekend.

I just need suggestions as to what else can cause huge clouds of smoke behind me.

well i run that supertech in my friends boat and it smokes too? so i would try a better brand before jumping on the road of something is failing like seals... im premixing in my car now too but i havent drove it yet but i started off with the lucas brand smoke less 2 cycle oil since lucas was name brand, but ive been meaning to ask around to see what the most commonn oil was for premix..

cool thanks for the input . I will probably try draining the tank and running a new brand because diluting the tank with more gas is kind of on the lines of running low on lubrication.
any more input?
