FYI 700

oil viscosity improover claimed to "stop smoke".

I don't believe in these fix all products, but had excellent luck with the stuff I dumped into my tranny, so I tried the oil stuff.

Followed the directions as per manufacturer. It actually does stop the smoke. the down side? the improved viscosity or stickiness means slow spool up times for the owl turbo.

I think my next oil change will go back to straight oil, smoke when I "stand on it", and performance.
