What Your Exhaust Smoke Is Trying To Tell You

Unusual smoke from your exhaust is rarely a good sign, so here is a round-up of the possible diagnosis, be it good, bad or seriously ugly.

The only smoke coming from Subaru's are the owners vaping...

[FiFaPrOxXx]

Simple rule of thumb
Blue=Oil
White=Water
Black=Fuel

"you got blue smoke coming from your exhausts"

It's a rotary That's normal

[xKiiNG]

I'm getting smoke from my tires when I do burnout is that bad

[Dwnshift]

I found this video at just the right time. I get white "smoke" when I start my van up, but it goes away real quick once I drive. Good to know it's nothing to worry about.

Red smoke means it's that time of month.

[swordtofdamocles]

My exhaust smoke tells me its to cold to go outside.

[Pigeonbutter]

I put a potato in my exhaust because I didn't like the white smoke that was coming out. I get a little lightheaded and sleepy while driving but it's been fine so far

[HiyasuJ]

What does Tesla's black smoke means ?





Your car is on fire.

[scottrc]

Every time you start a Land Rover Defender four polar bears die

[shikaracing]

If you own a Subaru, you get all 3 at once.

[pavlo.]

what if I have 10 foot flames coming out of my exhaust?

Blue smoke can also be from a leaking valve cover gasket. It doesn't automatically mean you have piston blowby or need new seals in the head

[FirstOnRaceDayCapri]

My Ford Capri used to burn tons of oil and smoked blue on startup, in August i changed the valve stem seals, since then oil consumption has slowly come down to almost zero! the job only cost me 19 Euros for the seals and i got a valve spring compressor from a friend and i had it done in about 6 hours of work ( the engine is a 12v OHV V6 )

these guys always ask the right questions good video

[kazzaprod]

I'm addicted to watching these videos.. what a good way to spend my Saturday morning 😂😂

[FedericoLucchi]

The head gasket on my '97 Jeep Wrangler broke, and I still drove 20 km to the next garage followed by a white cloud, pausing every now and then to refill the rad. Those AMC/Chrysler 4 cyls were quite tough! Very quick throttle response and nice sound too, more like a V8 than a 4

[quas]

Then again blue smoke from a Trabant is a good sign!

[TheLaXandro]

If your rotary doesn't emit noble blue smoke, you are killing it. Premix, damnit!

[Jck_hoff]

mines telling me my car's a diesel and it smells like absolute shit. she can blow any colour smoke except blue.
