quick Q

when i rev the motor to 8k i see a puff of somke....is that carbon being released or is taht just more oil getting burned cuz of the high RPM? im doing an oilchange today..and im going to change the oil filter, fuel filter and hopefully order new shifter bushings......but that somke......at 7~8K I was wondering wats up...come to think of it i dont think i have any coolant loss either....so i guess its nothing..but my oil is almost on low how detremental is taht for me to drive her like taht....would i notice performance loss at all(boggy or sluggishness) if i take her around town in that condition?

(i completely understand how crutial oil and cooling are for this car already just wondering how harmful it will be to drive her (driving mis dasiy style ) from work and to napa and getting some mobil 1...and back....

thanx

NO im not going to ask what oil to put in the car as i will jsut place in what the FSM says to place for my temperature ranges....lol gosh those OIL BATTLES......

low oil = higher wear on seals. Which means cutting the life of the engine even more quickly.
