Could Amsoil PI Do This

[c3po]

I went to go from Maryland to New Jersey this morning, so when I got to the gas station I added a bottle of Amsoil PI and then filled the gas tank up on my Marauder, drove 240 miles straight to New Jersey and parked the car. I went out tonite to move it into my Uncle's garage and on startup it let out a puff of blueish white smoke, my Dad said it looked a little more blue than white, it only did this for a second, I only saw the cloud of smoke as I turned the car around, could this be Amsoil PI cleaning junk out, kind of like when you use GM Top Engine Cleaner. I am also running a Maintenance Dose of Auto-Rx. It was also very hot going up the New Jersey Turnpike, something like temps in the upper 90's and I had the car up to 80 m.p.h. a few times. The car has 25,000 miles on it, any ideas or should I be concerned, I checked the oil and it was fine.

No reason to worry.

One swallow does not the summer make.


IOW: I dunno what did it ..but see if there's a pattern to it.

Gary, the car has only been driven 100 miles or so between last Christmas and up until I drove up to New Jersey. I was just thinking with the car not driven much and the Amsoil PI I freed up some junk that was sitting in the fuel system.

That's a long time idle.

I had my car belch out a cloud of smoke on startup not too long after I started mixing 2 cycle oil with the gas. It's only ever done it once, but it did worry me a bit when it happened. If it doesn't happen to you again then I don't think you need to worry.

I started the car last night to move it before heading back to Maryland and it let out a small belch of smoke, I drove home later and obviously it was dark so I could not see anything, but when I got home I restarted it 3 hours later to do an errand and no smoke. On the bottle of Amsoil PI per new instructions it says to use it every 4,000 miles, which I have been doing, the Marauder did great, going up to New Jersey at 70 to 80 m.p.h. it got 26 m.p.g. and coming home I was crawling at 55 m.p.h. and I got 29 m.p.g. probably would have gotten 30 m.p.g. but I had the A/C on. I just think that with the hot weather and 250 mile trip there in almost 100 degree heat and also the slow crawl up the turnpike in traffic for a half hour the Amsoil PI really cleaned some stuff up inside the engine, as I said before the car had not been driven a long distance since last Christmas. I guess this Amsoil PI really works.

That's awesome mileage. On a recent trip I got 22.75mpg in my 96 Crown Vic P71, averaging about 75mph. I'd love to see more. I've done what I can to remove intake and exhaust restrictions (like removing the mufflers ) and it helped, but not enough.
