I bought a Fiesta MK4 1.3 last week paid £350 for it. It has 65k on the clock and drives very well. I had the oil changed last week (have no idea what was in before that) with 10/40 semi synth and since then smokes a bit when the engine is warm (after 2 miles) the most I have done is about 5 miles in one go.
If I start it from cold there is no smoke at all, then it gets worse as the engine is run. Could this be the old crap being burnt off? The smoke is just normal colour is not blue or black. There is a little mayo under the oil cap but the engine has hardly been used in the past year (it had only done 60 miles since the MOT when I bought it) and this is normal when these cars are not used much.
There is no coolant loss, no signs of oil in the coolent etc, it is too early to tell if its burning oil yet.
Is this normal after an oil change if its not been done for years? My mechanic had trouble getting the filter off as it had rusted onto the engien block but said the engine sounds very healthy there is no knocks, rattles etc.
PS oil level is fine
