Smoke Blue
When started from cold (0 degrees celcius or less) my car blows blue smoke until warm. Why?
Unless I plug my car in (Canadian car...) to keep the motor warm, when I start it it will blow blue smoke when idling at warm-up RPMs for 30 seconds to a minute. Is this blow-by MOST LIKELY because of worn piston rings OR faulty valve seals? If I keep it plugged in over night to keep it warm, I do not have this problem, only when the motor is started cold. Any suggestions?
Could be one or the other or both. If you have a blown head gasket it could allow water to get into the cylinders and this would also cause blue smoke. Check your oil, smell it, feel it. Does it smell burnt? Does it have any water in it (oil and water don't mix so it would be separated). How about the color? I would get some Lucas Oil and run it as long as you can. If the car is not burning oil to the point that you can't keep it full, and if you don't drive your car like a race car driver or full throttle then hard brake, you could conceivably get another 40,000 miles out of it before you have to replace the rights or valve guides and/or seals. The cost to have these done is about the same as to replace an engine.
Lucas Oil will help. Also, you didn't mention how many miles you have on your car. If it is high mileage, I would use Castrol high mileage oil. It does help. I use Lucas for power steering, transmission, and for oil. It's excellent!
