I have a 12.5 HP Briggs. It has been burning oil recently, so i looked in the manual to see what oil you should use and it says SAE 30 in the summer. I have been using 10w-30, which it says in the manual that oil consumption will occur if you use this in the summer in warm temps. So yesterday I replaced the 10w-30 with regular SAE 30. Now, the engine smokes like a chimney while it is running. The smoke is a whitish gray color and it is a steady stream out the muffler. The engine still runs perfect- just as it did with the 10w-30. Maybe I haven't used it enough, so maybe the smoke will go away. All I did was do a lap around the yard, which took about 2 minutes. Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
