I have a 95 camry, 5sp 2 dr 90KMiles. I have tried to maintain it since i bought it at 84000 miles. I have replace the clutch and pressure plates, all tune ups including wires ,plugs platinum +4, replace all seals, water pump, thermostat, all belts including timming,new muffler (dual tip DTM) and air intake with filter. I use Amsoil synthetic 5w 30 but the other day i put 10w 30 since they run out. Two questions when the car is not started for two to three days i get a white pungy smoke come out of the exhaust. This only happens after the prolonged layover ie i do not start it for two to three days but after that will not smoke at all. what could cause this any ideas.email me at snipped-for-privacy@nospam.netscape.net Next i change my synthetic oil after 3000 miles but the oil was very dirty i ahve cahged the oil every 3000 miles since i got it. Should i flush the engine with engine flush next time i change my oil or not and what should i use? Friend told me not to use engine flush coz too harsh on the engine recomended using regular petroleum base oil 3 quarts and some transmission fluid 1 quart. any idea if this is really what i should do? orshould i flush it at all or let amsoil do the cleaning itself? snipped-for-privacy@nospam.netscape.net.
