Message My car was a bit overdue for an oil change and I had developed a ticking noise from the engine bay.

I picked up some synthetic 10W-30 and took it in to Nissan.

All was well after the change and I drove it home without issue.

This morning, I start it up and warm up for a minute or two, then take off. As soon as I took off, I noticed the car was hesitant and running rough. Almost like it was only hitting 4-5 cylinders.

At the stop light, I could see blue smoke coming out of the exhaust. I pulled over and could smell what was like a burnt plastic like scent.

I did some searching and I've discovered it could be:
Worn rings, seals, turbo seals...

I also read that it might be stuck/clogged PCVs.

Thoughts?
