Re: Just changed oil. NOW BLACK SMOKE ON STARTUPS!!!

Black smoke and carbon build up is usually a rich fuel mixture and a possible sign of fuel not being completely burned - check your ignition/plug wires and fuel/air intake system components. Burning oil would make you look like a MIG that just got shot down in a dog fight - grey heavy smoke. White smoke would be cooling system leak like a head gasket,etc.

5/30 is the correct grade of oil to use.
