I just changed my oil @ 5,000 miles over to Amsoil Could it mean that the valve seats aren't seated all the way still and I need to go back to 5w-30 instead of Amsoils stright 30w full synthetic?
I've been told using straight 30W is a no no with the VVT motor. If it was my FJ I'd dump the oil and save it a jug then refill with 5W30 dino oil and see if the smoke goes away.
