Black smoke is usually carburetor trouble, as the Carib 2x4 is prone to develop.

Oil smoke is blue. If the Carib is driven only in warm weather, any name brand 20w-50 will have the best additive package and prevent lifter clatter. Don't use synthetics, as their smaller molecule chains leak past old seals more easily.
