Surely you must have seen the multiple threads on here about the infamous Valve Guide Seals?
Give your Service Advisor re: valve stem seals lawsuit. I didn't need ANY of my lawsuit papers I got in the mail; they are doing so many of these I think they decided to just check for the telltale smoke, and schedule the work.

For reference... My V8 had 58k miles and I was adding about a qt every 800 miles. I did the self-test - let it idle ~3 mins and then floor it and look for the smoke in the exhaust - and it was smokey alright. I had them look at it in July, they agreed it needed the job, and did the work in one week. No paperwork, no hassle. No issues since, and no oil added since either.
This work was FREE of Charge.

Good luck!
