Smoke coming from engine after oil change - Craftsman Garden

check oil level and condition --oil pressure --any leaks

Oil pressure always goes down as the engine heats up.

High mileage? If yes, worn oil pump, excessive clearance in bearings and rings. Probably close to locking the engine up due to friction.

Low mileage? Possibly worn oil pump or leak in head gasket.

blown head gasket --cracked head --or damaged engine block blue smoke is oil being burnt and the milky gunk is coolant/water mixing in with the oil

worn out piston rings require replacement..

it may of low grade oil used as engine oil,or some oil on top of the engine can also produce this smoke.Change corect grade engine oil as advised by the car company but remove all the previous oil

sounds like you have a bad Ring on the Piston or a blown head possibly. Blue smoke means Oil is getting into the combustion chamber. Full choke means you have to give this 'broken' engine a lot of gas to compensate for it's problem.
Do you change the oil at least once a year? Filthy oil or a lack of oil will kill an engine

WHITE smoke? Or BLUE smoke? White smoke is usually caused by burning antifreeze (possible blown head gasket). Engine oil burning causes a bluish colored smoke.

Changing the oil two months ago means absolutely nothing to me. I have customers that travel 6000 miles or more in a month. Oil consumption is measured in volume over miles, not volume over months. It is normal for most 4 cylinder engines to use a little less than 1/2 quart in 1000 miles (even more than that for 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder engines).

if the smoke is coming from the engine bay, check for spilt oil or an oil leak, especially on the exhaust. clean/fix this and the smoke should stop.

if it is coming from the exhaust, check you have used the correct grade of oil (too thin oil may bypass oil seals slightly) and you have not overfilled the engine and this can cause internal pressure, causing oil to bypass the seals, or even blow oil seals completely. overfilling will also damage the catalytic converter.

Identifing the smoke color tells you where it is coming from. Black smoke comes from fuel, so it is running rich or not fully igniting the mixture. White smoke comes from oil and often happens under very heavy engine load. On acceleration this could be the piston rings allowing blow-by, on deceleration this could be the valve seals leaking. Blueish smoke is often coolant, indicating a head gasket leak.

You didn't state iof this happens during a moving gear change, or if it has happened since you physically changed some of the gears in the car. On a TDi, I would follow the factory recommendations for all engine lubricants and additives.

I would check to see if the oil cap is on the motor. Also if the shop spilled oil close to the exhaust manifold it would cause it to smoke. I would take it back and have them perform another oil change for free epically if the smoke is that bad. Hope that helps!
