White smoke on Startup

[MegaMan]

I’ve noticed if I don’t drive my car for several days, on startup there will be some white smoke for a short period of time. This only happens after not starting the car for several days…not sure if it’s condensation or otherwise. Smoke lasts for about 10 seconds then goes away. This doesn’t happen if the car is warmed up and started multiple times a day. Curious to see what y’all thought… attached is a video, thanks.

Is it thick white smoke? Like it looks like you just did a burnout?

No it lasts about 10 seconds, faint white smoke, then goes away.

This is a cold start after not being started for 5 days. Here is a short video smoke last about 7-10 seconds then goes away. Doesn’t happen if car is warm.

Completely normal. That’s nothing. You’re fine.

HAH! That’s nothing. The Ecoboost F150’s / Raptors do this x1000 after idling for a period of time. Next start up is a white ‘smoke’ show; it’s really condensation, but it would be far more disconcerting than this small amount.

If you’re not smelling coolant or oil, you’re good.
