Car Advice

[Big Dan]

Yes i know im going to get ppl saying "forget cars get a bike"

When i start my car i big puff of white smoke comes from the exhaust then followed by blue exhaust fumes and after about 30 seconds its gone. Its only being happening the last 2 days and since i've added more oil to it,i've checked the dip stick and it looks like its got plenty of oil now might even be too much.

Could it be just burning off the excess Oil?

any advice will be appricated

thanks
Dan

keep that oil level right, and if its still being a pain add some engine stop smoke stuff, might help tone it all down for you.

is it smokey underload or when ya driving up a hill?

Too much oil.

Its only smokey on start up and only for 1 minute or so

not smoking while driving apart from the first bit of driving but not for long

Yes, don't over fill the oil
500ml will take it from "min" to half

how much is it over filled by?

[Big Dan]

its above the Full line

Won't take 5 min
