The engine was cold (all I had driven was onto the ramps!) After driving i saw more smoke out of the dipstick tube. Has anyone else seen this? This is my first experience with synthetic oil, so I'm feeling like a virgin all over again! David BC White '96 Mystique GS ATX - A work in progress! White '88 Cherokee - still going places!

The engine was cold, just had driven it onto the ramps and shut her off. Have not seen the "smoke" since and things seem tickety-boo! David BC White '96 Mystique GS ATX - A work in progress!
