| Description of the problem | 3,6 oil filter adapter leaking. Have 38,000 on vehicle, got oil changed on monday evening and wednesday morning noticed a burned oil smell and a cloud of smoke off motor after short drive to work. Have oil slick underneath vehicle when came out that afternoon. Went directly back to dealership, and they advised that they had done nothing wrong , but was a bad oil filter adapter. I see a lot of them appear to fail, but the timing is suspect. Has the replacement part been upgraded to prevent future failures? |
