I have seen some older threads but wanted to get your opinion on this 24 5.0 cold start up with smoke.
Oil level is full, and this will only happen each time it is sitting for long enough for engine to get to ambient temp which has been
from the 30's to in the 50's range. I have a led flashlight pointed at the tailpipe to see the detail of smoke.
It seems blue but maybe a white tint and actually smells like gun powder when it was in the garage.

My truck only has 190 miles on it and have had it a about three weeks I know it's not broke in yet, but I wouldn't think this should be normal.
Just worried with all the threads I have seen with the past 5.0 oil issues and wondered who else is experiencing this?

Thanks for your thoughts

Hopefully goes away after it breaks in. Change oil at 2-3k run Mobil 1 5-30 after that Ford oil filter! Keep an eye on dip stick. My 24 5.0 doesn't burn any oil. Thank God

Monitor the oil level too. It might use some for the first 1000 miles but if it uses none then your most likely not burning any significant amount of oil to be concerned about it.
