Check again.
Being a Service Writer there are times What I think I know is way off base. Having said that, I'm pretty sure that is close to gear oil in viscosity. Change it and put 10w30 in her.
Is it a "her"? :lol:
Again:

Are you getting a gray smoke at all?
Oh ok then will do :D. It's definately a her lol.
I havn't noticed any blusih smoke, and very little grey smoke on cold start (if any smoke at all)
Hi,
I've just noticed my 93 Galant is blowing a fair bit of smoke now. Is there any way i can reduce this or stop it?
I guess we know why they went to a heavy oil. My guess is worn rings in the cylinders. Oil gets into the combustion chamber and burns.
Cheers! ill look for that stuff i hadn't heard of that before.
