Engine smokes in the morning Options

[dvcelica]

Hi,

I have a problem with my Celica every time I turn on the car in the morning a white smoke comes out of the exhaust. The car runs fine but I'm worry that this can be a serious thing. Any idea was wrong?

you could always switch to a "high milage" oil, they usually have more conditioners and are usually a little heavier so it helps with the seals etc..

also... when you start your car, let it idle for like 15-20 seconds at least if you can and arent in too much of a hurry, and when your done driving also let it idle for about the same 15-20 seconds

doing both should reduce the amount of oil you burn, its not going to stop it or reverse any wear on the engine, but it will help a bit

also, avoid high rev driving, such as drive up to like 5k in 2nd gear then let the engine hang while you coast to a stop... sounds cool but puts a good deal more strain on the engine parts that are causing you to burn oil
