[QUOTE="DozerEO2, post: 1422033, member: 30863"] Austin- sounds like you have the same problem I have, any many others. I notice blue smoke (oil) coming from my exhaust after idling for 15-20 minutes. I described the problem to the techs at my local dealership and brought it in. Like in your case, they couldn’t replicate the problem. I bought a 2channel dash cam and was able to catch the smoke screen on cam and showed them. Didn’t seem normal to me. So in the absence of any outwardly obvious defects, the performed what they call an oil consumption test. The do an oil change, mark the dipstick and have you come back after 1500 miles. If the oil has dropped below the “acceptable” level, they investigate further. I think he said any more than a quart was unacceptable. Alas, my consumption was within acceptable levels. It was explained to me that the turbos use a significant amount of oil and when they aren’t being “exercised” the oil tends to pool. When you take off and put your foot in it, the oil gets burned off and since it’s an excessive amount, you get the plumes of blue smoke. I’m not a mechanic and know nothing about turbos but it sounds plausible to me, especially since the truck performs like a beast when it’s called on. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
