Smoking from exhaust

[lucky phil]

Update 4-7-25
Oil control valve didn’t fix issue of course. They said they sent all the info over to Toyota and they approved the oil pump. Of course back order no eta but so were the level sensor and control valve lol. So now oil pump is ordered and just waiting for the text to have it installed.

Dealers, how to organise the dumbest most costly indirect route to the solution.

Oil pump is installed and oil level procedure correctly goes through. Install was only a day 1/2 so not bad. Whining noise at low speed is also gone. Thanks to all who responded to forum

Did you ever figure this one out? Having the same issue currently when I’m at a stop.

Sorry for late reply, but after switching to 5w40 and only filling oil to about 6.7 quarts instead of a full 7 i dont experience the smoke anymore

I had the same issue as OP and thought it might've been overfilled oil, but it turns out my o-rings for my turbo lines were on their way out. It started as a very tiny leak from the turbo v-band clamp then gradually got worse to the point it was leaking on the ground. Some of the o-rings broke apart from just touching it.
