  1. No oil is going down the frame. No drips, no smells, just the smoke. I was told that the car might require a special type of filter. Can't remeber what the person said, but it had something to do with some type of regulator??? inside the filter. Mean anything to you?
  2. Thanks. Do you know for certain that the filter would be causing the problem, or just that it is not the ideal replacement? Please tell me it IS what is causing the problem. It sounds like the cheapest thing to get fixed.
  3. I recently had the oil filter changed on my 2000 ES300. The mechanic put in a VALVOLINE OIL COMPANY #VO-25 Val VO25 Oil Filter. Ever since, I have had an excessive use of oil. Nothing showing in radiator. However, the car does blow greyish smoke. It was suggested that the oil filter they installed might be the wrong kind. The mechanic says its the right kind. Can anyone tell me who to believe? There was no problem before I took the car in. BC
