Oil question???

Oil question???
My front cylinder is smoking a little after it warms up. I can only see it smoking at idle. I'm currently running amsoil 20-50. If I run 60w would that maybe make the smoking stop? I suspect I need new rings at least, will heavier oil prolong the need to do the rings or just mask the problem?
Thanks.

This is what I would do.
Go get some sea foam add to gas, add to oil as reccomended on can. Run a tank of gas and change the oil.
Could be a ring, valve seat and could be carbon build up. You take pipes off and look for carbon. You can also do compression tests. And there are thing to do while performing comp test to determine root cause.
If I were you I would want to know now what the problem is.
