This car runs absolutely great, starts right up, has good power, good idle, a/c works great. I could go on and on, however, i noticed that the air filter needs changing again and it is only about 1 month old. When i bought the car, i replaced the air filter because the old one had oil in it, i cleaned all the oil up and put in the new filter. I just checked it tonight and it needs a new one again. There was also a small amount of oil in the air filter housing as well. NOt a whole lot but enough to dirty several paper towels. I don't notice any excessive smoking etc, and i only notice white smoke on initial start up, and only brownish smoke on hard acceleration. I don't drive the car hard(hardly ever over 3k rpm) and the engine has about 150k on it(odometer konked at 125). Do i need to worry about the oil in the air filter or will this car go a long way more(like 100k more)? if there isn't any blue smoke do you think it even is blow by? I want this car to last a long time running how it is. Thanks
