white smoke & oil consumption
Hello everyone, I have a problem with my M5.
When I stay for a while slowing down during the acceleration on the spot a cloud of white smoke appears. Can pcv valves create this problem? I consume 1L of oil for 1000km The connecting rod and crankshaft bearings were replaced 4000km ago Thanks you for reponse |

White or gray? Gray smoke is oil, white is water not really smoke. Can you smell it? My car is catless and did the same, replaced the pcv hoses and it stopped.

Mileage? I had similar issues and ended up being valve seals.
If you do a search of high oil consumption, this could be the culprit. I was at 82k miles good luck. |

I still have my problem the replacement of pcv valves to only reduce the smoke a little but it still consumes as much oil.
I thought I would switch to the 5w40 maybe it would help with the consumption of oil? |

I guess it's worth a try.
