white smoke from 2007 mazda6
Hey guys. Coming here to see if I can have some help concerning the white smoke from my car.
The engine started to shake as I was driving yesterday and the car drove funny (sometimes accelerating, other times not). I added oil because I saw that it was low and thought the engine problem was b/c of that.
The engine shaking stops for now, but now white smoke is coming out of my exhaust pipe. I'm wondering if it's b/c I add too much oil or that. The white smoke was coming out as I was driving back to my apartment after refill, and now coming out when starting up the car.
I apprecitate any help and add details when I can.

If you are positive that the smoke is white, that is a sign of coolant getting into the combustion area. If it is oil, the smoke should be bluish/gray in color. However, I am leaning more towards it being oil.

Check the oil level, it's not good to drive a car that has been over filled with oil. Also check the coolant level. If your still unsure take it to a shop
