Looks like the engine wants to remove the marriage 'rings' between the both of you. Divorce is imminent ![]() 1 Like |

kingsleyuzo:What kinda oil do you service with? What's the mileage of the vehicle? Is the check engine light on...on the dashboard(instrument cluster)?...if 'Yes'..have it scanned...let's just hope your camshaft and valves seals are not damaged already... |

kingsleyuzo:you have a bad seal that is what causes the smoke at start up |

ksmart027: Please what kind seal? |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by ksmart027(m): 7:52am On Apr 19, 2020 |
kingsleyuzo:seals on the valve guide, does the car burn oil |

kingsleyuzo: kingsleyuzo:The sad news news is that...your engine is getting weak. You need to start thinking of how to replace it... |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by kingsleyuzo: 9:28am On Apr 19, 2020 |
ksmart027: No it does not burn oil, the oil is normal |

kingsleyuzo: Does the oil level go down after a while? |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by kingsleyuzo: 10:06am On Apr 19, 2020 |
SpaceAngel: No it does not |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by ksmart027(m): 10:14am On Apr 19, 2020 |
kingsleyuzo:continue driving the car and monitor the oil level, i am not a mechanic, so i expect the experts to chip in more. |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by Alvin007: 12:41pm On Apr 19, 2020 |
kingsleyuzo:There's no way your car will emit blue smoke and not burn some oil. You're either not observing the oil level on the dip stick...or what you see ain't a blue smoke. |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by ksmart027(m): 1:21pm On Apr 19, 2020 |
Alvin007:you have a point, are you sure is not morning steam |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by mejai(m): 1:42pm On Apr 19, 2020 |
Alvin007: @kingsleyuzo. That's my interpretation....Ur engine is going. About changing rings, I can't really tell. The experts will advice further: Gazzuzz( biko help as you no they touch older years cars) Nurey Kingrreign HeavenlyBang Diportivo radautoworks And others. |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by GAZZUZZ(m): 1:59pm On Apr 19, 2020 |
kingsleyuzo: Keep managing until you are ready to replace the vehicle. |

OP, is 5w20 ok for that ride. Thought is should be 5w30. |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by Alvin007: 3:06pm On Apr 19, 2020 |
boldx:It should be 5w30...but, I believe the difference is negligible...besides, op said the vehicle doesn't burn oil..meaning the oil level is mostly the same on the dip stick...during oil changes. |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by kingsleyuzo: 3:18pm On Apr 19, 2020 |
mejai: Ok |

I thought bluish smoke is coolant getting into the combustion chamber. Your vehicle uses 1mz with vvti should over around 150 to 170k. Do you experience cold start and please move to 5w30 or 5w40 |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by GAZZUZZ(m): 3:57pm On Apr 19, 2020 |
kingsleyuzo: Ignore all and use 20w50 1 Like 2 Shares |

nurey: Please is 5w30 oil suitable and recommended for the Avalon? |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by kingsleyuzo: 11:09pm On Apr 19, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ: That is a heavy oil for much much older cars |
Re: Help A Brother, Tickling Noise At The Top And Bluish Smoke On Cold Start by nurey(m): 5:19am On Apr 20, 2020 |
kingsleyuzo: Your engine is 1mz and i am certain 5w30 was the recommended oil weight by the manufacturer. It seems the engine internals cant be lubricated by thin oils, if u dont want to jump to 20w50 straight then try 10 or 15wxx first and monitor oil shortening |
