I recently got an oil change one night and the next morning, on my way to work, I was shooting huge clouds of smoke out my exhaust. If I check my oil and there is too much oil in it, would I be burning oil? If I just drain it and replace the proper amount will my problem be fixed? I think the smoke has a blue tint to it but my friend thinks it's white. Any other way to figure out what's wrong with it.

check oil level...

 

hmm pretty vague...what color smoke, what do u mean by "accelerate" do u mean just driving or gettin on
it? And did your exhaust smoke before the 'oil change' at all?

not to be a dick but i did this before...go to google and type in "smoke from my exhaust"...i'll bet u will
find ur answer

I agree

 

Ahhh sucky Having too much oil "could" potentially cause it to smoke, but not billows of smoke clouds. Check the oil level to make sure it's right, otherwise Bad headgasket

 

It only smokes when i take off from a stop or accelerate harder. I'll check the oil level tonight. If it is too high and I drain it, will there be an issues from having it too high?

 

worn piston rings, or worn valve seals. check the oil, if its ok then 1 or both of those might be your probs
