but can tell you that you're not alone. My V6 has been doing this periodically for a few years. I've complained to the dealer on numerous occasions and they either cannot duplicate or say that it's normal. I've even had an indy shop tell me that they hear folks complain about 9-5s smoking at start and have realized it's just a characteristic. Now if it's blue smoke of course, that's diffent. For me, it usually will only smoke after its been driven and has sat for awhile. Normally it won't smoke on cold starts. I'd say the frequency is about once a week on average. Let us know if you find anything or any fixes.
