Hey guys,
This is my first post on this site............... need your help.
I took my 06 Speed6 to the dealer to get the 7500 mile oil and tire roation on friday. I picked it up a few hrs latter and started to drive home. It is a 35 mile drive home, all interstate speeds. The car drove fine, untill I got to a stoplight. I come to a stop and there where plumes of white smoke coming up out of the hood. I pull over to a parking lot and pop the hood. And there I see it ...... The Oil Fill Cap is sitting on the shock tower.. not 3 inches from its home! Hot oil is drippin everywhere, down the hood cover, on the intercooler, down the side of the car. I call the service manager and let him know what is going on. I was pissed but I think I was pretty nice to him. He said they would send a towtruck... I stressed to him to make sure it was a flatbed. They called and got me a rental, so now im sporting a Cadalac (POS). So now here is the kicker... so a few hrs go by and the wrecker shows up and the car has cooled down. I check the dip stick.... there is no oil on it at all !
So my first thought is oil starvation at the turbo. It might now show symtems today or this year be whats it going to do when I got 60k miles on. Im going to call Mazda USA first thinng Monday and get an area rep on the phone. Do you guys have any words of advice?
Thanks for the Time QBANG
