: Are you sure it is oil burning and not anti freeze getting into the combustion chambers? Anti freeze is a white billowy sweet smelling smoke.

Oil burning usually starts slow and becomes worse over thousands of miles. A sudden billowing of smoke might be indicative of, amongst other things, a gasket failure. Sorry to hear about your problems. Good luck -Jim
