can different types of oil increase smoke?
this may sound werid, but i just had my oil changed at my indy. ive always done it myself but the car was there. i usually use mobil delvac 15-40. i dont know what my indy uses. just since it was changed the car is smoking alot more. and i was wondering if the oil could be an issue?
i know my ford truck smokes more on the shell rotella oil so i stopped using it. just looking to get some info, thanks!

The short answer is yes.
You are going to need to know what he used when it comes time to ad som make up Oil. Where I used to work we had an old CAT Generator+Engine that they used. If I used 40wt Oil it would burn more Oil then if I used a Multi Viscosity Oil.

make sure the indy KNOWS to use DIESEL rated oil. if your car has a lot of wear on the cylinders, and the indy uses a thin oil, it WILL leak past the rings faster, and smoke more.
