Re: My truck has milky oil!

You said it has white smoke and smells strong. Does it smell sweet, kind of like burned maple syrup? That's indicating a coolant leak into the cylinders. There's really no point in wasting fresh oil until you fix the problem. It's most likely a head gasket, although you could have an intake leak that's allowing coolant to get into the engine. Either way, you need to find it and fix it.
