hey guys when ever i drive downhill (for example mt keira - syd to gong) and reach the bottom of the hill, the instant i start accelerating i get white smoke coming out the exhaust!

i've done a compression test and each readings are pretty much the same and well above 100 (cant rem exactly what they are now)

i cant figure out what it could be and what else i can try to fix this problem

the motor is b18c2
i do regular oil changes at 5000km

please help...

Are you loosing coolant? Does your oil colour look OK?

When was it last changed? As long as its a nice bright green you should be OK (But doesn't cost too much to change).

But your car does blow some gray/black smoke when you drive it hard i've noticed. It's not this smoke? You're sure its white?

What I meant before was is your oil still nice and brown and have you lost any coolant?
