You used diesel gas on a car thats suppose to use unleaded? On my, its going to be expensive. You need to flush the car, and dont drive it! It will just get worse.

Hi kennym,

Check the oil level, did you overfill?

Sometimes when filling the oil too fast, it would get to the intake manifold if the PCV is bad.

Let it run for a while and see if the smoke clears off.
