BruCan Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I just bought a certified pre owned '04 RX330 last month. It has 34K miles on it. I just noticed lately that when I start the car after being park for a couple of hours, a blueish white smoke comes out from the exhaust when starting the engine. Any ideas what wrong with it? Please advise! Thanks, Bru -Silver Rx330 '04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpa72 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I have always assumed that bluish smoke on start-up was engine oil. White smoke is antifreeze or moisture in the exhaust. On a Lexus with 34K on it, I am surprised that you have any smoke. Regardless, the car is still under warranty. Check it out. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdS Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 The first thing that comes to mind is the previous owner wasn't careful about changing the engine oil all that frequently. I hope I'm wrong. Take it to the dealer. Are there records of previous oil changes with the manuals they provided you? There should be stamps in the supplemental guide if oil changes were done at the dealer.

BruCan Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 I will bring it on Wednesday to the dealer. Let see what they say about it. To be continued..... Thanks for your replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
