>From memory the correct oil is a monograde 20w which most oil suppliers will get for you. As for smoke, is it white, black or blue? Black: Could be injection timing, faulty injectors, overfueling, problems with air supply (blocked filter) White: Unusual, but almost certainly timing related Blue: Burning oil, when the bores were honed did he fit new piston rings?, valve guides, bad batch of deisel Hope that gives some pointers Cheers George "Bungle" Eycott *********************************************************************************************** Vodafone live!
