Hi Wayne and welcome to the LOC, we are a friendly bunch so please dont hold back asking questions big or small should you have any problems with your car. We always welcome ideas on how to overcome problems with our cars but as they are the finest cars in the universe they dont go wrong that often.

I cant help you with the blue smoke but I expect someone will be along to help.

We always love to see pictures of your cars so don't be shy.

Happy Lexus Motoring.

a work mate tried this in his bmw and the smoke was reduced significantly

he was so emmbarrased he would wait for everyone to leave before starting his car

starting his car looked like a scene from stars in their eyes (matthew kelly)

you put the whole can in the engine whilst it is hot.

My IS200 was the same - gave a small whiff of smoke on startup when the engine had been cold for a long time.

The engine still pulled strong and didn't use much oil between services so I just left it as is. The problem never did get any worse during my 4 years/25k miles of ownership.
