Oil change & started smoking!
I took my car into the Mazda dealer for a routine oil change. As I was driving down the road afterwards, I noticed the accelerator was not very responsive and then notice plumes of smoke in my rear view mirror. (drive2) I very, very, slowly drove back to the service center still with smoke billowing out and they took it round the back to fix it. Their explanation was that they had overfilled it with oil (so much for going to the Mazda dealer)(unamused), and that it would not have caused any damage to the engine. I'm concerned about damage though - seals, etc.
I realize this is the msp section, but I was interested to see the replies that mention if the oil weight is mixed this might also cause smoking. My Mazda is supposed to have 5W-20. Would mixed weight oils have the same effect as overfilling the oil and cause similar kinds of engine damage?
