If you're putting it into the oil, I wouldn't keep it in for over 150 miles personally. I kept mine in somewhere around 120 miles and it came out as clear as it went in. Just read the writeup about it and you'll get a fair understanding of how long to use it for and what to expect. Everything sounds normal so far. :)'99 Camaro

Yeah my car with 95k smoked for a good ten minutes then trailed for another 10 before I took it for a drive. On the way to the highway it stopped smoking.
I think your situation is pretty normal.
As for the oil, I put it in for maybe 50 miles then took it out. I have an oil leak somewhere in my system and I didn't want to make it any worse. I think 250 miles like they said to is a bit too long.
