[s-cars] smoking S6

[The Gagnons]

Hunter,

My car only smokes during cold weather and only immediately after starting
when it has sat for more than 8 hrs or so.  It does not smoke in the summer.
It does not use any perceptable oil in the 5000 miles I go between changes.
I use Mobil 1 10/30 all year.  I suspect it is a turbo seal, but I am just
living with it.  It it aint broke, don't fix it attitude.

Jack
