So, here is an update. Mechanic swears it was about 1-1.5 quarts that didn't drain from the engine (6.5 out, 8 in).
Driver's bank intercooler pipe drained a few drops of oil. Not from the passenger's side. No oil in turbo intake, or engine intake manifold. No oil in exhaust manifold either. They let it run for 45 min till smoke was gone. Car didn't drive right, felt mushy on acceleration. No Check engine light. Started driving better with some shell 93 gas. Stilll not sure it's back to normal. Mechanic recommended I take it to the dealer to diagnose if there is problem. I ran BG44k, didn't make it better, perhaps little worse, now going back to where it was prior with shell 93.
Feels like reduced power in mid range. It's hard to tell for sure as it is plenty powerful and would be hard to tell the difference on regular roads. Again, this is a 2009 turbo cab.
Do you think catalytic converter could be bad by now? Choking the engine? Should I take it to the dealer? It's 2009, should cats still be under warranty? Should i pull out the intercoolers? How do o clean them? Soap, acetone?! Should I put on the dyno to see what that does? Or just take it to the dealer?
Still no engine light 500 miles later (51k miles). Please help.
