[QUOTE="soulsea, post: 1310975, member: 24793"] If this were consistent to every vehicle with this engine one could make the argument that it is symptomatic of this engine and stretch the definition of 'normal.' But this issue is obviously a malfunction that manifests only on a small percentage of vehicles. Honestly there isn't anything about that amount of smoke that is an acceptable byproduct of any modern engine operation. Obviously Ford agrees since I found this bulletin that references the same issue, although not specific to the F-150: [URL]https://ford.oemdtc.com/3631/blue-or-white-smoke-from-exhaust-while-driving-after-extended-idle-2013-2015-ford-explorer-flex-taurus-lincoln-mks-mkt[/URL] Not sure if this is relevant to our trucks tho. ETA: To be specific about the issue as experienced by owners. Something happens when idling over extended periods, say 20+ minutes, that generates this excessive smoking. It goes away after driving the car for a few minutes but until then it looks like a race engine blowing up. So I'm guessing something accumulates somewhere where it shouldn't and needs to be burned off through the throttle. [/QUOTE]
