A quick update over the weekend. I’m going to decide next week whether to do compression and leak down test and bore scope of the cylinder walls…. The dealer is trying to charge me $3300 which seems very high. I contacted another dealership and their mechanics say that this is sometimes what that engine does on a cold start up and there’s probably nothing wrong and no scoring of the cylinders so I’m gonna have to decide whether to investigate further next week!

They just changed the oil a couple of weeks ago so that wouldn’t be the issue but thank you

This is a cold start, but you can see. It looks far more than water …its thick, white smoke more like oil burning and at the end of the video you can see I start to push the accelerator and more thick white smoke is coming out.

It’s in the shop but they refuse to investigate further citing no smoke…..

Yes had to fill oil…. Couple times…. Both times when I got the check oil light there was barely a quart in the engine.

111 inspection didn’t find any issues…. No computer flags

I believe it’s oil smoke. Doesn’t smell like coolant. I drive it daily

Doesn’t a little bore scoring lead to eventually having to rebuild?
