Help! Its Smoking!
my tech was convinced they just forgot to put the new oil in at the last service. luckily i didn't drive the car much. then they did another oil change, and a few days later there was oil missing again and the dash oil monitor had no clue.- ttforcefed

maintenance history since new 2013
unless you can do your own work you are pretty much screwed if you live in a dense metro area, if you look at my entire history 95% of the work was done at local independent shops who are trustworthy,- ttforcefed

Only 5 quarts of oil drained second oil change in a row (also… drain plug?)
compression and leak down tests came back fine. they think its the valve seals are causing the smoke but I'm just gonna drive it and add oil if i need to. if i have to ill replace the engine with one from roverlandparts for $13k, doesn't make sense to deal with the risk of rebuilding mine.- ttforcefed
