5w30 is best, if you are over 150k then you may want to add a bit (half a bottle) of Lucas oil treatment.

Why is it that over revving results in more black smokes? Is it a good standard for smoke test to over rev? I own a 1 year and 5 months Mitsubishi Montero Sport with 13,000 kilometer mileage. Also, a Mazda...

The Effects of Over Revving a motor can be Catastrophic. I do not understand why the government would require someone to do such a test. Normal Emissions Testing is done at High (2100 - 2500) and the Idle (500-900).

Reason for Increased Smoke.... As you increase the internal pressure of the vehicle, you are creating a VACUUM and this is suckking the Oil past the rings, and anywhere else that it is causing the Vacuum.

Efffects of Over Revving van be Premature Failure of the engine (Could cost you $5-$8,000 to replace)... I would ask WHY so high... A Diesel would MAX OUT their RPM @ 4,000.

These people who are doing the test, ask them to show you where it says in WRITING 4,000... That is much higher than in the 4 states I have been certified to be an I/M Inspector

What kind of oil do i use for a 2000 dodge carivan?

ENGINE OIL

You will need to use a 10W-30 grade engine oil, such as any of the following Mobil products.
"Fully synthetic" oils are more expensive. Conventional oils or syn blend engine oils are fine for the vehicle but need to be changed more frequently.

What kind of oil should i put in my regal?

5w 30 is best for this engine, especially in the colder season.
I recommend Amsoil, Castrol, Or Valvoline are some of the best oils. It's solely up to you. If you have high mileage, then high mileage oil has a better protection and longer life.

2000 Mitsubishi Galant, EA3A 2.4l motor. Oil leal

it could also be the oil pan gasket, or the manifold gasket. if it's the manifold gasket, when you remove the manifold to replace it, take the time to clean out the mixing chamber. it'll be filled with gunk and cleaning will improve gas mileage.
