Heavy oil smoke
Has anyone else had this happen? If I start my 06 CLS 500 and move it from the garage to the driveway, shut it off, wash it and put it back in the garage, it will smoke like hell when I start it up the next time.
The total move from garage, to driveway and back is only about 30 feet. It looks and smells like oil smoke. It has a bluish tint to it. Other than as mentioned, I have no visible smoke any other time and I never have to add oil.

Joey, sounds like yours is about the same as mine. It is infrequent and only last a few seconds. Oil stays full. I'll ignore it for now and mention it when I take her in for service.
