IF the gascap was left off for a bit, would there be a possibility that water got into the tank? |

I've seen cars with a bad turbo do this and/or possibly it could be the oil you're using everyone I know uses conventinal gtx 10-40 cuz the turbos will eat up the synthetics and it could be getting in intake stream only synthitics I see ppl use is motul

There is so much misinformation in this thread.
Glad you got it sorted out. 5.4 quarts is definitely over filled. |

its a good thing i found this post. i just recently went to cobb stg 2 with a catless downpipe with my 2013 wrx. Same thing occurred like it did in the video. on cold engine start up, a large amount of white smoke appeared. And also, this was right after I did my first oil change at the dealer. when i smelled the smoke, it didnt have that sweet smell like it does with coolant, but more of a burning smell. like burnt oil or fuel. i checked the dipstick and the oil level was well above the recommended dots. so does that mean the excess oil is being burned off? i didnt do the oil change. the dealer did. other than that, the car runs fine. ive done a bunch of wot pulls with no knock or boost creep etc. car runs like a champ. im just a bit worried about that initial cold engine startup. could it be on what you guys concluded it to? blow by is it? is it fine to just run it as it?

I had the same symptoms. Puff of white smoke on startup. I had blow by so figured that was the issue. Ended up really being a cracked ring land.
If the OP overfilled maybe his issue was that and its fixed. Get your oil level corrected and see if it persists. If it does, do a compression and leak down test. My #4 was gone. Just like most others with this issue. |

my solution was to drain the oil and fill the CORRECT amount of oil and after about 100 miles it completely stopped smoking so i suggest you do the same |

argg.. damn. well i guess its good that ive narrowed it down to improper oil level.. but damn. i would assume the subaru dealership would do my oil change properly... i guess ill have to do it myself next time. what is the correct amount for our 11-13 subaru's? what amount did you fill yours up to? 4 qts?

The correct amount is 4.4 quarts but just recheck its on the full line and add oil as needed. |

why not bring it back to the dealer? then they know one of their techs effed up, they'll have it on your file for the vehicle and then if anything related to that happens (i don't know, maybe if seals were to leak or something after) then you aren't on the hook for it?

Ringlands will not give you smoke from the tail pipe.

Educate me. I had smoke on cold starts from oil going past the rings into the combustion chamber, then when I'd start it would all burn off and fill whatever area I was parked in with white smoke. Car drove pretty normal to me, and when it finally got really bad i had tests done and number 4 was gone. Where else would that white smoke come from? I know I gave a new motor now and the issue is gone. I also had my vf52 bearing fail as well so maybe oil was coming through there as well? All I know is it wasn't a easy fix either way. I worry when huge puffs of white smoke come out of any of my vehicles.
I'm not saying your wrong, I just want to learn more about what happened to my car. |

ok so i checked my oil level and its at the proper level. but this is what ive noticed. when driving my car casually, rarely into boost, below 4000rpm. the white smoke never appears on start up. but today i did a bunch of wide open throttle pulls (i used about a qtr of a tank worth of pulls) and ive been driving the car aggressively. and when i started the car a couple hours later, a HUGE amount of white smoke appeared. so can anyone explain to me why its doing this? and again.. the car drives perfectly fine. only when im in boost and i occasionally after-fire between shifts, will i encounter white smoke on the next start up. is it probably due to the fact that the ots tune is running too rich for my catless downpipe?

My Subaru 2010 sti special, started doing white smoke today, I live in Ohio, its cold now, I read through this feed, my smoke has a very distinct smell, weird smell, coolant level hasnt changed, still right at full, but i do notice a weird sound coming from engine when i reach about 4grand, "chinging" sound is best way to describe it, I have a buddy coming to look at it tomorrow, and also taking it in to a local subaru dealer, Just wanted to see if you guys think i am "F'D"... turbo still sounds like its working. my car isnt due for an oil change for another 1500, so i dont think my subaru has too much oil in it tho, i remember them saying they put lil over 5 quarts in it, but doesnt make sense that it would just be happening now. Im freaking out pretty bad, car only has 33000 on it. Cobb stage 2. Any ideas, comments (rude or not) will be appreciated. thanks.
