Vitz smoke from oil cap- pictures attached

[khan.baba88]

Salam,
After some running, I opened the oil cap and witnessed some smoke.
Can anyone suggest what this could be?

Also, once when the car was start, i opened the oil cap and I saw some oil moving rapidly inside the crankcase. The oil didn't come out but it was in some spinning motion.

For how long the car was driven before you took the picture?

when was the last time you changed oil plus its filter?

and the moving motion of oil when uncapped is because you must have uncapped it while the engine was started so its normal.

The oil should be spinning! And i think smoke is normal

[husnainkhan]

Yea I think smoke is normal too.

the oil was changed around 1000kms before.
This car is recently bought.
The previous owner had put zic 20-50 in it.
Also the oil is very slightly above the high mark on the dip stick.

Bcuz engine gets hot and oil too! As its circulating inside the engine

In the second picture towards the left, could you see some black oil deposits? Its not that much though.
I plan to put engine sludge cleaner when I change the oil.

smoke is not normal, my opinion is based on dealers logic,, according to them, smoke from oil cap is sign of weak engine

[ahmed2396]

That is normal if the engine was running. Check the pcv valve and if you have doubts then go for a compression test.

20-50 is very thick oil, which people usually use when the engine is taking it's last breaths. But owner could have just used it without knowing anything about oils.

Do check that:

1. No blueish white smoke from exaust
2. No white paste is there on the oil cap

I had the same problem. Smoke plus oil reduction. Turned out it was weak rings.

[husnainkhan]

It shouldnt be giving much smoke then. But a bit of smoke is always normal. I guess @xulfiqar bhai can explain you properly on this.

No the oil cap is fine.
White paste I assume is due to blown gasket where the coolant is leaking.

btw would appreciate if someone can tell me which oil is suitable for this car?
I am planning to get Havoline 10-30

[Xulfiqar]

Bro I hope you didn't sell your previous cars because of this smoke

[khan.baba88]

jazakAllah brother.
Well this is the first time that I am taking care of the maintenance car. The local ustads have made me panaroid to feel that way
