Change my oil every 5thou with 6 quarts of 0-40. I changed the oil myself. Been doing if for years. Didn't wait long enough for the oil to settle into the pan, added more, around 2/3rds of a quart. The next day the engine started stuttering at acceleration and gray smoke came out of the exhaust. Engine couldn't breathe properly and oil was getting into the cylinders further evidenced by checking the spark plugs. Took it to my mechanic who diagnosed and resolved the problem.
