    The Toyota oil and Mobil 1 regular is basically the same, from what I’ve read.

    Wasn’t really being serious about the smoke, all oils are similar these days up to 10k miles.

    You are seeing a combination of fuel, water and oil vapor. Combustion byproduct or blowby, and oil reaching a temperature where some of its components evaporate as well as oil being thrown into a mist from the operation of the engine.
    While the engine is running most of these lighter vapors you are seeing escape the open oil cap are being drawn into the intake through the PCV valve and burned. What happens as your engine cools after shut down is the vapors condense back Into to liquids and drain back to the pan. Fuel, water, oil and all.

    So you are saying...one of the results of burning hydrocarbons...results in water?

    Amazing!

    Did you stick your finger in the oil filler to check the oil level? Also, truck needs to sit a while.to get a accurate reading of the oil level.

    It's normal. Its basically a little bit of the oil burning off inside the engine since it has a smoking temp. Look on YouTube Google or any of those places at smoking point of oil. Full synthetic has a higher temp for when it starts to smoke. And I personally use Valvoline full synthetic oil in everything I or my friends or family own due to a professionaly ran test of the top 10 full synthetic oils on the market and I like Valvoline for the value. But again it's normal and it's just the oil getting so hot that it smokes a little bit.

    Buddy had a shitty Volkswagen Passat. The Plastic oil dipstick handle got so brittle, he went to check the oil and it fell apart and went down the dipstick tube hahaha

    I actually know that truck! It's a swapped sleeper running a built 5.0 coyote with twin turbos and nitrous. It was pulling sub 9 second 1/4's!
