You most likely have a really clogged CAT or a blown headgasket.. being the fact it runs ok till it's warmed up(fluids thin when warm), I would lean more towards the headgasket.. check your spark plugs for any oil or fluid on the spark end to determine which headgasket is blown.
your headgaskets are gone but you can take the heads to get resurfaced at a machine shop and new head gaskets to or you coulld just get new headgaskets
Depends on what the fluid was you changed??? Did you change the oil? How about the filter? 4 qts should not go past the full line. If you left the filter in there, then yo might have too much, the filter holds quite a bit, maybe half qt. The filter needs to be changed with the oil every time, most important, If you go out now, but a filter, take it off, replace it, you roil level should be right. You won't lose anything but what has to come out anyway, too much oil makes a mess in engine. I don't 1/2 qt. will do anything though. It will be gone in a week or 2. Check it out, hope this helps.
when doing headgaskets on thses it is very important that no debri falls into oil hole when cleaning or dissamebleming,also the headgaskets were installed correctly!!. check the preasure with the gauge and go from there,if it does have low preasure then something may have gotten into oil system, also you did change the oil after head job. if oil preasure is low and theres no knocking from engine then put a oil pump in in, most of the time its a bad oil preasure switch.good luck
Is it gray, bluish gray, or white? White smoke, during warm weather, indicates that you have a head gasket out and it's vaporizing water, it will look much like it does when you first start it on a cold day. Bluish gray indicates burning oil, which could be bad valve seating, severe engine wear on your piston rings and oil is blowing past them into the combustion chamber. Grey smoke is probably water as well, though it could be contaminated with oil, or the vehicle could be running too rich, getting too much gasoline. But typically this is more of a black smoke than gray.
Maybe a blown headgasket. Pull your engine oil dipstick and check for a milky grey foam. All your coolant could be going into the oil pan. Could be hose or freeze plug. The best way to find it is to have a pressure test done to the cooling system.
hi it sounds like your headgaskets blown you need to take your rad cap off fill with water start the engine see if you see any bubbles in the water or if the water blows straight out its a good indication the headgaskets gone the thing on the right hand side is the expansion tank overflow if this blows water out even when cold the headgaskets gone if you see no bubbles in the water change your thermostat the two fans on the rad have nothing to do with your a/c if that doesn,t work may need pressurising yates210456
