I spilled some oil when I was putting oil in the car and it seems to be taking a long time to burn off. I wiped it off but I still see smoke occasionally. Is there anything I can do?

Hi stashima70,

When oil gets spilled onto exhausts it would take some time for them to burn off. You can either get a pressure spray to clean them off or just run the vehicle around till the oil gets burnt off.

There is nothing to worry about but check that the oil filter is correctly installed and not leaking.
