Do you Own a SERIES II RX-8?, or Series 1 2003-2008????

If you own the Series II, please DELETE THIS Thread and Post new thread in the Correct Forum for Series 1...you will get a faster response.

 

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.

 

its 2005, i checked my coolant its good...i hope its nothing too serious that will make me have to get a new motor.

 

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.
