Its just seems odd for a newer vechicle to blow smoke like for sitting only 3months. I can understand if it was sitting for 8 months ,but thanks for reply.

Ya...I was on here not too long ago worried about the same thing. Apparently, its just from the design of the engine. The oil drains to the cylinder heads causing this.

Mine smokes if it sits for a few days / less than a week. Everyone told me that it is normal and I kept thinking they were just patting me on the head and telling me not to worry about it. This forum helped me see that it is normal.
