if it takes 5-10 mins of running before black smoke disappear i think you could have broken rings causing engine oil into the combustion chamber. you could observe white smoke if you have just changed oil.
solution would be to replace piston rings. it would save u a lot if u could diy.
Is it a lot of white smoke? White/Gray Smoke: White exhaust smoke is an indication that coolant is burning in the combustion chamber. These are possible causes:
Cylinder Head: A crack in the cylinder head (around the coolant jacket) will cause coolant to enter the combustion chamber.
Although for some cars white smoke is normal, as long as it is not super excessive.
Don't know what car or engine you're writing about, but I'd recommend replacing the entire engine with a good used engine. White smoke usually comes from coolant in the engine (bad head gasket or cracked block/head). Fuel additives will do nothing to correct this. Low/no compression may be a piston ring, may be a holed piston, may be broken valves. You're going to pay someone to tear down the engine and they're going to find a lot more wrong than a bad piston ring. Just get another engine.
