It's Time For A Rebellion, Better Yet A Revolution. My Guns Will Be Loaded!

Well maybe not a recall, but some kind of different replacement under warranty/tsb when the time comes for someone to need a replacement.

Stock oil is 5w20 from the factory?
 
FYI there is apparently a TSB out for this now, which replaces the turbo and seals with updated part numbers.
 
smokin...

Meh. '06 Speed6 GT, 12,500 miles, Mobil1 synthetic. Wife commutes with it most days, never raced, modded, or even driven hard.

Brought it into the dlr. today for a PCM reflash (they did 3 recall notices, required to register car) and a few hours later they call to say it's smoking profusely @ idle. (flame) It wasn't doing that before today!

I went in to take a look, and it's definitely concentrated bursts of bluish oil smoke that aren't well mixed with the rest of the exhaust stream--i.e., the oil is being injected very late in the process. They say they need to run 'extensive tests' but I have little doubt what it is.

This car is bone-stock, FWIW. I've done the oil changes myself, at the correct interval, but have no idea where my receipts are. (What do they really prove, anyway? I use the same oil for other cars.)
