I have 140K on the clock and have serviced regularly as well. Probably need to do a top end job on the motor as stated above to solve it. I can tell you that it hasnt caused any issued for me in the last 60K miles...

You guys got me thinking!! My 2005 STR has 87K and at the most uses maybe a quart of oil every 5-6K miles but I can't see the tail pipes when I start it.
Do you get a blue cloud that floats back over the car?? Or just small puffs that can only be seen if you are standing at the back of the car?

There are some STR's that have oil squirters, so he wasn't so crazy after all.

i have done two more oil changes since with penrite 10/40 with 250mls of morey's oil stabilizer no more smoke at all since , and quieter on start up also .
i really don't know if it was the morey's or the viscosity change or both though, ether way it wasn't a good look and I'm pleased it has stopped ,
