    Hi guys,

    Well this weekend I drive my car home from a ride with a trailer (truck) :(
    I did an oil service about 3k km ago and still don't know how, but I put too much oil in it...I checked but, probably not to good!-be carefulll-RTFM twice....

    Well, I drive my car for about 1h and then I parked it, when I start it, blue smoke came out of the exhaust on both side...and very big smoke, cloud of smoke...I only listen the motor if any tickeling, but motor run just fine...I shutdown and call the truck, to pick me up, because I didn't won't to screwed my engine....

    Well yesterday I check the engine, and didn't find any oil leak or anything, but when I pull of my LMM and suction valve I notice that there is TOOO MUCH OIL...somehow it was overfilled with oil, and oil come in the air suction place...

    All you have to do is, to remove the red cover, it's very easy to unscrew all the "screws" and just pull up cover. CLean all the oil and put it back.

    Remove all the overfilled oil with suction pump from the oil tank, and check level oil twice :)


    I wrote this, because most of us ( half time mechanics) thinks, that it's possible valve problem, but here in my case wasn't....
    Maybe some of you will have same problem and will save a lot of care... :)

    Picture for better understanting, where the oil was:

    I'm curious. Did you say the oil change was 3 thousand kilometers (1800 miles) PRIOR to the smoking event? If the smoke was due to overfilling, why did it take so long to occur?

    That's not the end of the story I'm afraid. Your MAF's will also be trashed. Expect poor idle/startup and/or adaptive map errors within 500 miles or so.....
