sue me, its a ford.
So last week i was in a hurry and had my oil changed at a quick lube. The next morning i start my truck (02 chevy 1500 140k) and it blows a huge cloud of smoke like bad valve seals. its also stubborn to start, takes 2-3 tries. Truck has never smoked before i've had it for 6 months and its never used oil i changed it last and it wasn't low. Now my truck smokes about 3/5 times in the morning. It clears up, but man i don't see how it needs a valve job. Nothing I did. What could cause this after an oil change? Its blue smoke also, not black... Recycled oil? Too thin seeping past the seals? Could it be flooding? The dash is not showing a check engine light. Im trying to avoid having to tear it down for a while. It doesn't seem to be using. Just need some input, Thanks
