F150
I have a 2005 F150 4X4, has 43,000 easy miles on it. When I started the truck I notices white smoke come fron the exhaust. It was a cool morning and the truck was sat for 24 hours, I have read some post about how that could be the reason. I was also told that adding a quart of lucas in place of one of the (motorcraft synthetic) quarts. Any body else have this problem..... Thanks

This white smoke you see, is it a single "puff" or does it continue until the engine is warm? Does it smoke after reaching operating temps?
Heavy condensation burning off can look like white smoke, when it's really just water vapor (steam). A true white smoke is indicative of coolant being burnt, but this should be accompanied by a sweet-ish smell. Is there any odor with the smoke?
