Runs and idles well, occasional white smoke.Heavy oil consumption.Can faulty thermostat be the cause.Temp takes miles to move and never goes over 80 even less on motorway

That engine is known for heavy oil usage . If thermostat stuck open it will run cold

Will that account for occasional white smoke

Possible , engine is not reaching working temp to burn of condensation and water the fuel produces . Other causes also but you would get a drop of coolant level if they were the reason for smoke
