When do you see the smoke? Is it always white in colour?

Is it on idle/acceleration/full throttle/decel???

If your car has done a decent mileage and has been run in the past on "normal" oil then putting mobil 1 in is a waste of money, it just leaks past everything and ends up getting burnt. The engine will already have worn to clearances suitable for the other oils. I wouldn't be surprised if you've got low oil pressure too.

Food for thought.

Cheers,
Rich
