There is probably so many threads about this topic, but couldn't find it. Don't know if its just me, but whenever I'm at a stop sign, or at a light. I seem to see a smoke come from the back of the car. Don't get me wrong, but I know it's normal for every car. My concern is, does it happen all the time, and is it because of the gas I use. I usually out in Sunoco. Can someone let me know if its the gas or something else. Thanks

 

What makes you think it's smoke?
On cold days all cars do emit steam from the condensation through the heated exhaust. On warmer days it will mostly be in the form of water droplets.
I forgot to ask how many miles are on your Max?

 

I only have 47000 miles on it. I meant to say that. I don't mean smoke, it just seeing everyone else's car doesn't smoke as much.

 

Mine produce steam and moisture more then other but I also have a lot of mods done to mine but it's nothing to worry about really unless the smoke is a cloud in the former of color of white or blueish color and then you should worry.

 

Your taking off that hard from lights and stop signs, the smoke is all the premature engine wear

 

Nope, don't take off hard at all. If anything, I baby the car.

 

Well, it seems like regular smoke to me, nothing more. Whenever I drive off the stop sign, or even the light, of course, the smoke disappears. Everyone I asked, even the dealership said its normal. But you can't believe for anything.

 

Driving back from work, didn't seem much smoke. Do you guys think it has to do with the gas ? Or oil ? I know it's a stupid thing to say, but I rather be in the safe side. Don't get me wrong, the car is smooth and fast. Just like the first time I got it, but thought maybe its something I'm not doing. Let me know any inputs that you guys have.

 

Is that a normal thing by the way ? Or should I be worried ?

 

No worries, the smoke your talking about is more like a white cloud, is just the intense heat of the exhaust blowing out the cooked moisture, keep enjoying your car

 

Thanks !
