I don't know what kind of blue smoke that attributed to the cold weather unless is a Diesel engine.


For an additive to try out, go to the local parts store and get a bottle of Lucas Oil Additive......Pretty this stuff and we used it in my buddies truck which smoked like a bonfire full of leaves, and it cut the smoke down in over half...... But that'* the only stuff that I can think of that seriously works.

My bonnie used to smoke on a cold start after sitting for several days. This was condensation in the exhaust system [I could see the water dripping out]. The water only dripped out when it was exhaust condensation.. so I know it was that. And then the colour of the smoke was a very light blue.. and it was hard to tell it was blue unless you were close to it. Looked white from a distance. After 30 seconds of running it cleared up, so my guess is, that isn't your problem, because wouldn't it have burnt off by then?

It ususally takes about 4-5 miles I think to burn ALL of it out of the oil......But that'* not smoke coming out of your pipe......That would be steam.

Hmm... I don't know then. Either way, I hated it, and it scared the **** outta me the first time it happened. What I do know, is it hasn't done it for quite some time, mind you my car hasn't run for quite some time, either.. so who knows. I still think it might be, that the oil is overfilled.

I think burning a little oil is common for the ser2. I've been told that when I hammer it there is blue smoke.

You might have stuck oil rings. Try some SeaFoam engine treatment. It is supposed to clean out and free stuck rings, clean out sludge, etc. At $5 a bottle, it could prove to be a very cheap fix. It definately helped out with oil consumption on my grandfather'* '95 bonneville with 120,000 miles. He was going through a half quart a month, and after doing the seafoam a month ago, he has not noticed oil loss so far.

Over filling the oil wouldn't burn it off.......Just cause too much pressure on the seals and you'd probably shoot out a rear main or something......Now if it'* like a drop or two......1/2 qt somehwere in there, then I wouldn't worry about it too much.....Anythiung more I'd be gettin my 9/16" out and the drain pan.
