Thick White Smoke
Thick white smoke from exhaust. Is this kind of normal? It's gonna stay like this even when the car is already on normal operating temperature -fully stock head to toe -no CEL indicator warning -no power loss -OBD scan shows nothing -2nd engine about 40km on clock -use only ron97 -penrite engine oil changed on end of dec2018, until today around 800km driven. Rarely driven due to outstation

This looks like vapour to me, which is normal if the weather is cold and/or humid. Especially if your car has just been sitting, condensation will build up over time.
If your coolant level is fine and your engine oil level isn't going down like crazy, don't worry about it.

I can also confirm that - with no “sweet” smell, no CEL, and no drop in coolant level - this is perfectly normal in very cold weather after the car has sat for a couple of days. Mine does the same thing. The amount of thick, white billowing smoke is, indeed, disquieting! But nothing to worry about.
