Helpful Websites About 2006 Ford F-150 blue smoke from exhaust upon startup

F-150 XLT 4.6L V8
- Automatic transmission
- 45,700 miles
Starting about 2 months ago and only on cold starts blue smoke is coming from the exhaust. I suspect it's a pcv valve. It's brief and doesn't reoccur until the engine is completely cold. This truck is serviced regularly and has only 45000 miles.

The truck blows out blue/black smoke upon a cold start up. It started around 15,000 miles and still does it. The truck has just over 28,000 miles on it now. I have had it at three different Ford dealerships, a total of five times in the shop between them. None of them can figure out the reason why. One dealership had the balls to tell me that I used the wrong brand of oil until I told the jackass I put Motorcraft oil in it. It's not throwing any codes so they all said nothing can be done to troubleshoot the problem.
