check your oil & oil filter, it's the most obvious reason for the smoke.

blue smoke is burning oil. get the oil to the right amount. then see if it still does it i guess. then if it does, do a compression test. oil could be leaking past rings.

that is now the most retarded thing i have read on here! use the dipstick you dumbass, if it's too high drain some out, don't burn it off, if you run your engine with excess oil you can cause serious damage.

so umm, u sure you know how to check the oil?

there should be a mark where it says full on the dipstick. don't go past this mark. it could hurt the seals in your engine.

so if there's no smoke except when u redline it, could just be running really rich. just a suggestion. wait, that's black smoke, ha.
