Hey Allen, I've always favored Texico high mileage 20/50 weight along with the mystery oil, both are supposed to expand and help seals. I also know that the 20/50 weight is recommended for breaking in new engines. I also feel on these engines the only other thing that usually causes smoke in these engines would normally be bad piston rings, which the above mentioned will also help too.

>If this is a poly car, the oil return holes in the heads get plugged up when really old dirty oil goes through the engine...I had one in a 647 Dodge, and monthly I'd have to take some wire, remove the valve covers and clear these out as the oil would back up and overflow the umbrella seals on the exhaust valves, so I'd get a huge cloud of oil smoke following me when driving it. Best way to keep this from happening again is clean the engine out the best you can: remove oil pan and clean all gunk out of crank case, under the intake, and under valve covers. That stuff can be like an inch thick and will scrape off with a putty knife.

Ben,

That was one of my 3 or so suspicions.  I remember my Dad periodically
running a straightened coat hanger down the return holes of his 62 Dart when
I was teenager.  Back then, he wasn't a believer in detergent motor oils.
He always said that you never know what sort of leaks you might get
out of a high-mileage engine if you loosened up the gunk build-up :-)
My other ideas were:  too much oil in engine, or a much lighter weight  
than I was supposed to get combined with some bad seals.   

I took another drive just before dark and didn't see the smoke this
time, so I don't know what to think.  If it returns, I think I'll switch the
oil out to straight 30 and throw in a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil, and
maybe clean out those oil return holes too.  We'll see what happens.

Thanks for all the ideas on the smoke and the dash lights.  Hopefully,
I won't notice anything else odd, at least for a few days.

Best,
