Could an oil additive cause your 1988 Honda Accord with 123000 miles to start blowing a lot of white exhaust smoke?

It is doubtful that an oil additive would cause this, although it is possible. White smoke from the tailpipe is usually an indication of coolant entering the combustion chamber. A blown head gasket is the likely culprit. A cracked head will also cause this. If you are losing coolant, that is another sign of one of these problems. Have this checked out ASAP, as severe engine damage will occur if this is not corrected.
AnswerAnother 1988 Honda Accord did the same thing. Any fluids added (oil, Transmission Fluid, gas treatment, Lucas additive) will billow out as smoke, and then stop until something else is put in. Head gaskets were checked and the shop said they were fine.Wiki User

If what you are decribing is smoke coming from underhood that smells like burnt oil, it may be your valve cover gasket(s) leaking on the hot exhaust manifold. This smell is strong enough to come into the passenger compartment while you drive. It should be repaired. I hope this helps you. Mark
