Do you recommend conventional or synthetic oil? Also between mobile 1 and valvoline
The occasional smoke on start up is most likely coming thru the PVC system so your oil separators should cure that. I use the high mileage Mobil 1. Car has 150,000 miles and I have tracked the crap out of it for the last 12 years and it shows no signs of giving up. All vitals check out great.
