Smoke from dipstick.

[dr. d]

Car is toyota innova diesel 2014model.
80tkm odo
When the engine reach operating temp(Temp guage needle is above 5 bars) i check the dipstick and saw some puff of white smoke coming out. It was barely visible.

Mas mataas pala yung consume ng diesel. Since my last change oil.
From 6.9kpl to 6.4kpl accrding sa front info display.
Ngayon 1 full tank only reaches 290kms. Dati 320kms


Should i be worried?

AT? trafficky city driving? those km/li figures are normal. i get 'em.

that video of the smoke from the dipstick opening also looks normal.
yespo, a compression test seems the only way to avoid guesswork.

good luck.
