i drive from west palm beach to orlando thats like 160 miles them street tune my car and the drive all the way back ... thats like 400 miles and after 3 days of normal driving i check my oil and it was less tham full like 1 finger less ....... is it normal cus of the long drive or im having problems ... also when my car is cold and i start it . it throw some white smoke.... and i have no leak ... is all that normal

 

black smoke is what your looking for. no visible leaking after parking?

 

there is no oil leak i check it ... and my car never throw black smoke a when is cold it throw some white smoke ... but my car is wasting some oil

 

From what I heard white smoke mean car is burning oil

 

it could be some oil consumption after the tune. do an oil change on it and keep an eye on the level. as for the white smoke comin from the exhaust, im gonna assume ur on a stock block, it could be some oil seeping past the rings. my car does it too until i start driving and than it clears up once everything seals up.

 

im just worry cus i have been on boost for like 1 or 2 month so i should have not any problem that soon.... i just buy a 1/4 of oil and put it full again

 

just do a full oil change. its best to do one after u get a tune anyways.

 

this isnt correct.

Black smoke is fuel
White smoke is coolant
Blue tinted smoke is oil (this can be easily confused with white)

it's not uncommon to burn oil after turboing these cars.

 

so i just relax ... u guys mean it is normal i just have to check the oil every week and refill it ...

 

u should check ur oil frequently, especially with boost. if ur oil level is low and u constantly have to add a qt, ur def burnin/losing oil somewhere.

 

This has been covered before. Scions burn oil no matter what I believe it's in the owners manual somewhere. Cars naturally burn some oil or throw it into your intake with additional pressure. Some more than others my honda spits like a friggin cobra when vtec is engaged. My scion burns a little when cold also, it is a 06 with 24,000 on it. I've been boosted for about 4k really hasn't changed. I change my oil every 1500 now. Baby your baby change the oil like it was diapers.

 

Yeah my car does it here n there on a cold start its an 09 with 26xxx miles on it n i been boosted for about 15k n car rums fine but did switch set ups n thats when i started seeing this so idk but according to alot of ppl its not uncommon like stated above for it to smoke a bit...mine does it cold start only n i use 10w-30 full synthetic

i remove one ic pipe and i find some oil ... the ic that i remove was the one that hascthe maf and air filter ... i see the a little of oil i clean it and put it back ... hope it was cus of the too many pulls of the street tune ... just check it today 24 hours after i clean the oil in the ic pipe and it was clean ... i hope that it was cus of new tune and not a turbo problem .. car is not smoking or nothing car is working just like before

 

Well mind doesnt smoke all of the time either n its only a light bit of smoke but it could be from the pulls cuz of the pressure but ull jus have to wait n c

white smoke on cold start most likely is just water vapor.. moisture on the exhaust pipes sitting overnight gets evaporated fast and you will see the white smoke. If you notice a drop in performance do a compression test and go from there.. oi

 

Cubano if you found oil in that pipe make sure it's not just coming from your valve cover port. I find that the cars like to spit out vapor when you drive them hard and it usually includes bits of oily resin that eventually forms into a small pool in the piping. I have scared myself plenty of times just to find out it was that simple. get a big catch can to connect in between your piping and valve cover.

I know many already have done this to deal with this type of problem. This also isn't a mechanics secret either very common occurance. I don't like catch cans or mini filters in my setups because they look pretty ricey. However, if you can put a nice non-bling catch can setup in there I'm game. The proper term would be "plenum" and not "catch can". I use "catch can" because many don't walk around saying "plenum". If you need one because you actually use it and not just to have one then its not so rice. This is really just my opinion though I try to steer clear of rice. I would go full factory look just to keep a low profile if I could. I don't like polished aluminum but sometimes kits only come with polished. There again this is just a personal preference.

 

to browniemxn ... yea man when i remove that pipe there was some oil in the ic pipe but i see no sign of oil in the turbo or anything but when i touch the valve cover port it was like with a little oil so maybe my turbo has no problem .. im gonna buy a oil catch can and see ... i hope it solve my problem cus my car is not smoking or anything and is running strong like before... i find that oil after i get a new tune in orlando and street tune my car and them drive back to where i live in orlando that day i drive like 450 miles ... maybe was cus of that but im gonna buy a oil catch can anyways thanks mannn i appreciate your help

 

Thanks ace i mean im not worried about it at all cuz its happened only after it rains alot...n me living in south florida its always humid n my car runs fine as of now so no worries
