3. At home very rough diagnosis, change oil, make sure coolant is full, run at idle minimum 20 minutes, never leave unattended, watch gauges, if it overheats turn it off. Get a second opinion. Turn on the AC on maximum see if the cooling fan comes on, if not, get a second opinion. After running a number of times, look for the white smoke others mentioned, turn off and check the oil dipstick, you have new oil so it should be reasonably clean, if milky or creamy in color, get a second opinion.

massive amounts of white smoke coming out the tailpipe. You might be able to confirm it by doing a compression test (the leaking cylinder will test lower than the others). Or take it to another shop for a second opinion. Don't let them do it unless you're sure. It's an expensive job to have done, and a lot of mechanics will rip people off, especially women drivers.More Questions & Answers ...
