My mate was behind me the other day in his new 3Litre Turbo jeep when I put the foot down and and though I'd be the clever one and zoom into the distance, which I did :D

He noticed blue smoke coming out of my exhaust, what does this mean exactly? :shock:

blue smoke usually means your burning oil

an oil change might sort that out then will it?

How will an oil change solve that? You need to find out why it's burning oil. Most likely turbo seals and/or piston rings.

In that case I'd say piston rings or valve guide oil seals. If it's the former and your engine is consuming enough oil to require regular topping up, then it's new engine time......

LOL, good answer......

valve stem seals/guides, or check PCV's

USUALLY: blue=oil, black=overfuelling, white=water/condensation, any other colour= your on acid
