Roman Tasel Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 i changed the oil in my 620 and put about 4.5 quarts of oil. I know you should put about 5.1 qts, but the dip stick showed it full? It smokes very little from somewhere but my temp does not rise. its not really a big problem, but i want to fix it before it is. i think i should add more oil:o Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 4.5 quarts to fill an L20B/L18 and about 5 with filter change. Always change the filter, they're cheap and the old one is full of dirty oil that just mixes with the clean new oil. I would start with 4.5 and then add the extra while checking the stick. If it says full after running it... it's full. Oil probably spilled down the valve cover onto the manifolds... it'll burn off quickly. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Low oil level will not cause smoke -- high oil level sometimes will. If you're like me, I spill oil on the engine. Takes a couple of days to burn off. Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 What color smoke? Quote Link to comment
Lozer Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 a little carb clean or break cleaner will get that oil right off the exhaust manifold so it dont smoke when hot. p.s. dont spray that stuff on a hot exhaust!!!! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Check that your dip stick is alright and reading correctly. If overfilled the crank will splash in it. Oil spray on the cylinders can overpower the rings and get up into the cylinder head and burn causing smoke. Nothing wrong... just too much oil. If you know for sure that you only put 4.5 quarts in and the stick says full, then leave it. Quote Link to comment

The smoke was from a plug in air freshener and the smell was from my fat dog Bently farting, while licking the inside of my bong. :D Quote Link to comment
