So here is the timeline. I went to get the oil changed at my local shop I use and as always I took my six quarts of Mobil 1 Full Synthetic. The technician drained the oil, changed the filter, and then replaced the oil. He poured five quarts into the resivoir and then cranked it for a brief period (a few seconds), then shut it off. He checked the level about a minute later and then added a little more until it showed full on the dipstick. I then started it after about ten minutes or so and everything was fine. I then drove around all day with it and no smoke. That was Saturday, yesterday my wife got in it and fired it up for a few seconds to move it out of the way so she could leave to run errands, and I don't know if it smoked then or not, but she only had it running for less than a minute. Then it sat the rest of the day. I went out to start it up this morning, 25 degrees outside and a lot of came out, not dripping water, but the fog type. With that there was a small cloud of blue smoke. It was only right at starting and didn't happen again. So being that this has not happened since I have owned the truck I am asking to see if anyone can A) tell me what is causing that and if it is normal, or B) if anyone else has had the same issue. Thanks!
