white smoke only when starting up... Options

[Athorn]

My car runs perfectly never had any problems..but when i start my car up it emits white smoke for a few seconds then stops, and it never does it while im driving. Should i just use sea foram next time i get my oil change and see if that does the trick? and just so i dont have to start up anouther thread... I am new to exhaust mods. I saw this in anouther thread a just have a few questions. Someone mentioned this brand and i found the exhaust on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAGNAFLOW-M...sspagenameZWD1V ..Is this a direct bolt on..and would i need to buy anything else to install it. Sorry for bieng a newb and as usual thanks for the help.

Depending on the thickness and smell of the smoke (which are hard to explain in words), it could also be carbon buildup on the valves or just condensation from the converter both of which are pretty normal conditions. If it's valve seals you will notice a little bit of oil consumption along with it. Just know that using 1qt of oil every 1200-3000 miles is considered acceptable by Toyota's standards, anything more than that is cause for concern.
