white smoke = water aka coolant (headgasket fuked)

maybe, or could be a bit of condension in the exhasut, depends how bad

you need 3.5l of oil in - top up the level and check on the dip stick.

1) white smoke in this weather is nothing to worry about, unless its still doing it after 10 mins of driving, see loads of cars with white smoke pouring out the back.

2) just top up, leave for a while and check dipstick, if needed add more, if its ok, run it for a while, stop, leave for 10 mins, check dipstick level again and adjust as needed.

jeez, who would have thought people could make changing the oil such a difficult task lmao
