blue tinted exhaust

At the dealer now.

Hey what dealer do you use for service?

A slight theory popped in my head after thinking about this, could full synthetic be too thin of oil since e the motor was made for dexos? Or would it be better off running full synthetic?

Dexos is recommended but if the Synthetic Exceeds the Dexos ratings then you are fine.

Ok gotcha, I just wasn't sure.

A few years ago I was looking into getting a Mazdaspeed 3 and while doing research on common problems I found things like this. People were changing out their exhaust and afterwards started seeing blue smoke out the exhaust. The seals in turbo were shot and when they changed the exhaust it started smoking and showed a problem that they may not have been aware that they had. I assume the cat or something was hiding most of the blue smoke of oil burning. Just thought I'd share that because i found it interesting when doing research back then.
