Firstly, change to one of the following oils immediately: 0w-30, 5w-30, 10w-30, 0w-40, 5w-40 or 10w-40.
30w-60 is too thick and will cause wear and possibly damage to moving parts in the head which also rely on oil for lubrication.
Secondly, the ECU uses a richer fuel map after vtec crossover in order to compensate for the additional air coming from the higher lift and also to protect the engine from having a lean condition.
sounds like typical vtec smoke to me.
mate to tell u the truth i had same problem switched to castrol edge 10-60 and you know wat reduced smoke by heaps and the cr runs so much better neva neede to top up oil levels alsways the same top oil
ye changed oil the other day and it runs like a diff car.
You should see 2 integras drag racing. LOL biggest smoke bomb out. Can't see anything, and the smell of burning engine oil. MmmmMMmm YUMMYYYY
my car does the same thing. engine is a h22a4. during the day sometimes i see a grey/black haze in the rear view mirror.
at night it's more visible with all the headlights behind and i leave a long trail of smoke.
my dyno graph shows the AFR at ~11.8 at redline so it's pretty rich. hopefully my afc neo can lean it out...
i think its just our cars running too rich, or its not tuned.
i have the same problem as ya... was told by my mechanic that its most prolly stem seals that need to be replaced... i've yet to do it yet... when i do, i'll let you know if that works...
lots of smoke when accelerating means worn rings right?
afaik worn valve stem seals cause smoking once you engine brake/idle then get back on the throttle.
