Re: Re: Rodeo burns oil.
Drain it out! At least I would, I learned that the hard way. I have the older model, which is not an oil burner, and upon moving back to Colorado had a hard time coming up with time to do my own change. So I took it to the dealer, sure enough same thing as you. Only I didn't feel I should "need" to recheck their work, so I didn't. Two weeks later when I started seeing oil drops, figured I'd better check the oil and find the leak.
Long story short, had almost a full qt extra and she popped a valve cover gasket - which may have been going anyway. But I will NEVER again have anyone else do my oil. I think the possibilities that can happen are foaming and blowing a seal/gasket from the pressure. I would not take the chance - it'll be much less $$$ to just check that oil often.

Re: Rodeo burns oil.
yup that extra qt of oil is a bad thing. crack the drain plug and drain out the extra.

In addition to everything else that has been said concerning oil burning / leakage, I'd like to put valve guide seals on the list. Like any rubber exposed to oil and heat, they age and harden. I can tell mine don't seal like they should. If the Rodeo has been sitting for a few days or more, I can smell oil burning on startup- then it goes away. When the common chamber (plenum) was removed, I could see oil glistening on the valve stems and with 24 total valves on the engine, I'm sure it adds to the problem.
Just my 2 cents... Dale
