    Heard back from the dealer this morning.

    Yes, but it probably was the 4th or 5th oil change the previous owner performed on it. I don't think it was his fault. I changed the oil over the weekend, all the O-rings were present and in the...

    Thanks PMK. To check for that, would I pull the plugs and look for oil in all 3 cylinders? Or is there a hose I could pull to check for oil where it shouldn't be? I figure if I pull the plugs and...
  9. Engine smoking and burning lots of oil - anyone pulled an engine?

    Hello!

    I have a friend who has a 2015 Spyder RT-S SM6 with about 20k miles. He was on a ride and did not notice any changes in power or responsiveness of the engine, but they stopped to eat and...
