Thanks for the info on the cold start sequence. I'm sure I ran the car less than 30 seconds when I backed it up 3 feet in the garage to make room for the Harley. The car is smoke free on a cold start if I park it in a fully warmed up condition and I don't think the smoke I'm seeing is 100% oil.

It seems some other owners see a similar condition but not everybody. My oil cap doesn't have excessive vacuum, which makes me think the AOS is OK. I'm not going to obsess about it. Maybe somebody else will figure it out on their car.
