Now when i changed gears (AT) from p to R there is a vibration from R to N it goes away, form N to D its back. i check my oil and i do need a oil change, but i added 2 qurts last nite, started it up the smoke is back( this is at home) let it run n it went away...so today i started it again and the smoke is back again heavy. wat to do and wat can be the problem.

you added 2 quarts of oil? whats the level before you added it?

white smoke means coolant, also could be excessive fuel burning inside the CAT.
can you pull your MAF out see if theres oil inside your air intake tube? could be excessive oil gets burnt.

Turn your computer screen off. Draw a very large 'X' across the front of it with a piece of chalk. Bang your head against it.
