Toyota Kluger 2008: Producing thick blue smoke

We haven’t had any other reports of this problem, but I wouldn’t think changing the type of oil would have any effect on it. The oil is being sucked into the engine under vacuum, so I would be looking for things like worn or leaking valve stem seals.

Toyota Kluger 2008: Unpleasant odour when accelerating?

Yours is the first report of this problem, but other Kluger owners might like to let us know of their experience. Toyota's actions in replacing the door and the seal are what you would expect with this problem, which is usually caused by a damaged seal or door, or a damaged exhaust pipe. As for getting it fixed I believe Toyota is clearly responsible for fixing the problem as the car is still under warranty. Keep the pressure up on the dealer and the company itself.
