Default Minor blue smoke, oil or other cause?
I changed my oil this past weekend from Mobil1 15w50 to 10w30. Now suddenly I get a little puff of blue smoke when I'm at a stop or take off from a stop. It's just a single plume of smoke and then gone. I don't see anything during regular driving. Any ideas, valve giudes, rings, other?

Blue smoke = burning oil. Usually valve guide seals.
