I’m prettying sure it’s oil getting dumped/sucked into the combustion chamber somehow and stalling the engine. There’s an immediate running problem when I go down a steep ditch and thick blue smoke pours out the exhaust and lingers in the grass like still burning oil. I’m just having a hard time...

I don’t have any sign of fuel in the oil. The reason I drained some oil out was that I had just done a oil change and then just noticed the smoking/stalling on downhill. I thought they were related.
