I haven't noticed any white smoke; however, I have noticed a slight smell coming from the vents when I use the A/C or heat. It could be my imagination...I don't know.

Well, I am planning to drain (whatever is needed) some oil and send it for testing. I called BlackStone and they said that they like oil to have at least 1K miles of use before testing. So once I get the testing kit (hopefully this week) and once I've driven over 1K with the new oil, I'll drain some, send it, and wait for the results.

The idea is, if I have a serious problem, then there should be some evidence of it in the current (new) oil.
