100mls of Flashlube will do 100L of fuel, so you used 5x too much...
But yeah as Mick says, it's still a pretty low concentration at 200:1.

Hi, My mini has started to blow some greyish smoke. I recently put some (a small tube) of flashlube in with the fuel. Can this additive create some excess smokey exhaust. Kaka |

How much did you mix in? It's an oil after all... |

One tube (about $4.50 each), and about 20 litres of premium unleaded. |

So it's about 100 mls right? If it is a tiny amount (roughly > 1:200) it should be barely noticeable. |

Kaka, are you sure the grey smoke isn't just a bit of steam first thing in the morning? It's been cold lately. Most cars are a bit steamy until they warm up. |

Hi, I'm trying to remember if it was twenty litres or twenty dollars(about 12 litres). Getting old. Definitely only one tube. Kaka |

It's been cold lately. Most cars are a bit steamy until they warm up. Yep I noticed you're in Brisbane too. The other night I could smell oil burning and looked out my driver mirror and saw smoke pouring out the exhaust!! It scared the crap outta me until I realised that the oil smell was from the Magna in front of me and the smoke was condensation!

You'd need no more than 1/2 a squirt bottle of flashlube per tank of fuel in a Mini. (well a Mini with a standard fuel tank) |
