has the problem only started since you have changed onto mobile 1 or was it there before?

If the engine is used to a thicker oil and then you go to a much thinner one then it can cause a problem

Is it over fueling perhaps? can you smell un burn fuel at all? the Co level may be on the high side! mine use to smoke because of this before!
