White smoke

[Jaxonalden]

I have a friend named Kurt Weber that I haven't seen in years, he's from northern Wisconsin. Your not from that neck of the woods are you?

Your question, my car doesn't let out the white fart all the time. As a matter of fact I think I've only noticed it a couple of times. My car has 30K on it and I know the history of the maintenance and any abuse yet it still blows a little, no big deal. As you said "I know that some oil consumption is completely normal" and I go with the rule of thumb, 1 quart per thousand miles. Anything above that and it's time to get it to a mechanic for a check up.

Thanks for the information. Scared hell out of me as I have only owned the car for 6 months. Got to love the car though!

I have only seen the white smoke on start-up once or twice with my car. It does not even do it after sitting for 5+ months of winter storage.
