'94 gt, 100k miles. When I bought the car the guy told me he had the seals in the engine replaced, and the car never blew smoke. Now, ever since I made a SRI, reset air/fuel ratio, and (maybe this doesnt matter, it was a while ago) used lucas fuel injector cleaner, the car blows out a nice cloud of blackish, blueish smoke when I start it. Is this oil leaking? It only does it when it has been sitting for a while (ie. if I drive to the store, turn it off, and come back out 10 min later and turn it back on, no smoke). I gotta go to my mechanic soon anyhows for clutch work so I'll have him check it out, but was wondering if this maybe isn't a problem or ..something else..
--Thanks guys

Anyway what type of oil are you using? cuz if it's 5-x or even maybe a 10-x the problem is more frequent.
I suggest u to use ONLY full syntetic 10-40W or even 15-40W but it's not recommended for our engines (I mean celica's engines all) so 1st would be better choice.
The solve your problem don't use a 5-x graduated oil also cuz consumption of oil will increase.
Leave that oil to city cars wink.gif
