That's what I do. Rev it a bit and the smoke dissipates.

I did that today, didn't get any smoke, but just to preventI ordered the piece today, so hopefully spending the $30 will prevent me from having to do that. Driving downtown traffic sucks with trying to keep my engine above a certain rpm, haha.
Well, I believe prevention is the key here. I put a DP/RP on and stuck the pill in at the same time. The car (early '08) didn't smoke before and hasn't started since. I have tried protracted (I mean over an hour) of stop and go without issue. I use synthetic oil and change it about every 3500 miles.
The seal in the turbine shaft area will be damaged if oil gets past it, It will eventually coke up and fail to seal at all. Then no magic pill will help you.
The "newer revision" turbos for the MS3 make no changes in the seal dept. You'd have to take it apart yourself and install a 270* seal to improve this.
I've done this work on Garretts but, never a KO4 so, I can't say how hard it is.
Just wondering what they "revised" with the 2 turbo revisions?
My dealership is telling me that my warrantee is gone. I'm at 39K, and I have about three to four minutes of white smoke after a whole night of the car sitting and then starting it in the morning. Also have occasional white smoke when I go WOT, so much I can see it in my rear view mirror.
My car is falling apart fast

Why is your warranty gone? You only have 39k? Has it been flagged do to mods?
Nope, that's just what they tell me. They said that it was up after 36,000 miles. I've questioned it many times with them, they tell me the same thing everytime.

Go to the mazda usa website and print out the warranty info, shove it in the dealers face and tell them to **** off. Better yet call mazda north america and tell them what the dealers telling you. They'll get s*** from corporate and usually you end up getting what u need done no questions asked. Check out the "I broke my toy" thread
Do you have the owners manual? If so, have you ever read it? There is a 60k mile/5 year power train warranty. The turbo is covered under powertrain.
Exactly
I hate the dealership. It would be one thing if there was some sort of confusion to the question I asked, but when you ask it several times and in different ways in an attempt to get that kind of information and they still come back with the same answer.
I couldn't be clearer when I said,"so there is no longer any form of warrantee of any sort on this car?"
"No"
I will never buy another Mazda for as long as I live. And it's a shame, cause I really like the car and their involvement in racing.

This really isnt something you can blame on Mazda but rather something you should blame the dealership for. I am 100% serious when I said call Mazda NA. It is 100% crystal clear that there is a 5year/60k mile drivetrain warranty. It is written clear as day in black and white that the turbo is considered part of the drivetrain warranty as well.
yes i too was completely serious about what i said earlier too
in fact:

Print these out and tell the dealer to **** off. call mazda NA give them the name of the dealership and the name of the service douche as well as the manager. in about 2 days, expect a phone call, with the dealership having a completely different attitude

Hey guys...so I put on the PTP part, and let it idle for about 10 min, and saw no smoke. Its time for me to get an oil change, so what should I get? I really don't get on it much anymore with the car...afraid it'll break, haha. But seriously, what oil should I get this time? I believe I have 5w30 in now, but I haven't seen smoke until now, so wondering if it should be different.
You can try 5w40 and see if that helps clear out the smoke.
My 2007 stock Speed3 started smoking last Wednesday for the first time. It's getting more frequent. I have 44K miles on it.
I'll take it first to the dealership, they usually fix the problems I have. If not, does that PTP part works for stock engines or just help the ones with aftermarket downpipes?

Awesome!!, definetly try Rotella Syn 5w-40 oil.. any walmart should have it..
Thanks. On a side note, I drove for about 4 hours on the interstate yesterday, and after I got off, I let it idle, no smoke, and none so far since the part install. Still need to get that oil change
I did get a CEL when I jumped on the x-way but not sure if its related or not. My dashhawk got stolen outta my car last year, so I'll have to stop by autozone or something and get it pulled. If this car didn't lose its value like something ridiculous, it would be gone already. Not happy with it, but then, I've never really modded a car either. Although this car has been fun, I wish I never got rid of my Titan.
