Excess smoke
My S280 W140 produces excessive white smoke when l do any speed above 50miles/hr (80km/hr) but when l rave it, doesn't produce that white smoke.What causes that?

Agree with OLDSINNER111, def sounds like water / coolant getting into the oil! Would not continue to drive it, as more damage can be done.
