Sometimes I get a little blue smoke on startup. What would cause this, and is it something covered under a drivetrain extended warrenty?
Thanks

Most likey leaky valve seals. When the car is shut off oil leaks down into the combustion chamber and builds up. When you start the car it is burned up quickly in a small cloud of smoke. During driving the valve seals leak such a small amount you don't see it in the exhaust.

Does it smoke at WOT also? It could also be worn rings. Best to do a leakdown test to find exactly what the problem is.

Ill go talk to them, and see what they say. It only does it once in a while.
Im not sure on the WOT Jeff, I havent really done it.
I was going to change the oil, to synthetics, But now Im not sure if I should or not.
