Was it smoking during the day, or at evening/night? Tonight was pretty humid yet cool outside in FL...

I remember a few months ago it was humid/cool outside and my tailpipe was spewing white smoke. It hasn't done it since then.

I use royal purple but only because it's just as cheap as mobil1 here at my local store.

Mobil1 is good too. My grandpa tells me that walmart's supertech synthetic oil is made by the same company who makes Mobil1 and that it's the same thing. I don't know if it's true or not, but it wouldn't be the first time in the automotive industry that a company bought another's product and slapped their own label on it (with permission of course).
