Smokey Perkins 20 kw

As to the ten quarts of oil,  what does the dip stick show?   And if the oil was thick that means to me that maintenance has been slack, not meaning to be offensive but there are intervals to follow.  Maybe the previous owner didn't service it.

How long has it been since the air filter was changed?  that usually causes black smoke but nevertheless, if the oil was overdue then I would certainly check the AF.

Michael and Richard are spot on , run with as much load as possible frequently.  This helps burn carbon deposits on the valves  that can cause low compression.  low compression will exhibit blue smoke also.
