I have a 2003 ES300 84,000 org miles, Never had one problem with car. I changed the oil about 3 weeks ago, I tried this new oil 5-30W made by PEAK , the anti freeze CO. A few days after, I started to notice every few days when I start the car up, I am getting a consideral amount of smoke out of the tail pipe , (Greyish- blue) has an odor to it also. Then within 30 seconds it clears up and is fine for a few more days. I drained the oil today and re-placed with syn Vavoline 5-30W to see if this corrects problem. Has anyone had this issue or have an idea what is going on or suggestions. I am hoping its not the valve guides. Just seems funny happened right after oil change. Thanks , Dean
