The smoke, and worse yet, ash won't kill your car and most likely your car will treat like any other contaminate and trap it in the oil. If it was volcanic ash, I would say definately dont drive or breath that unless your life depended on it. That ash will setup like cement in your lungs. my opinion.

I am old enough to remember the days of Mt St Helens in 1980 and the 2 weeks of ash blowing around on the roads. Back then they were advising us to place women's panty-hose over the intake of the air cleaner.
