    since having my oil change a few weeks back, my car randomly emits white smoke on start up. white odorless smoke which fills up my garage and disappears.

    is this just condensation?

    normal in a cold humid morning. it's just steam. white smoke that goes away in a few minutes. worse when humidity is high. happy new year!

    If it does it after you have driven it somewhere, parked for a little while, then restarted and it still smokes, I would check your oil level.

    It may be filled up too much, as my F12 was when it was delivered to me, they had to come and suck out 2L of oil! It was over and 1" above max on the dip stick, and this was from a Ferrari dealer!

    Car thinks there’s a new pope?

    Suggest overfill as above.

    Sorry couldn’t resist as an Italian car etc.

    If never seen it before and you've had it for at least a year then it might be related to the service. Check the oil level per the manual. If OK then could just be normal condensation especially it it does not smell sweet like antifreeze.

    Gotta love the Lusso start-up. It's just condensation, but to be honest it does give me a bit of a chuckle in a parking lot. I once made a simple remark to someone accusing me of poisoning the entire planet. "Nope. Just warming the globe 12 cylinders at the time."
    If it was oil, the smoke would be blue and the smell would let you know. Never hurts to check for over filling, but doubt it very much

    I agree all V12's emit condensation on start up, but the OP said this has just started to happen after oil change. So it sounds like something different to how it is normally.
