maybe a Seafoam treatment will cure these ills, and maybe, just maybe the correct weight oil, as the smoke just started after the oil change, might as well Seafoam it and change to fresh oil

Just a thought.....

Did you physically check the oil to see if it's overfilled or under filled?

Maybe even if it is MOTOR OIL.......maybe replaced with trans fluid. I wouldn't do work of any kind to it until you discuss it with the dealer.

Definitely not touching it until I get word from them. I checked the oil...it looked dead on to me. It's really funny though the problem started after my oil change. I know they took my car for a spin after getting all the body work done...did they blow it up?
