Why did you loosen the oil cap?

Default Well, in one of the forums, it was mentioned as a alternative to breather?

There is really no rationale.. I read it and thought that it might not hurt so,..

My logic is that if the crankcase breather is clogged, then this would help... Someone with similar problem posted this as part of the fix from their dealer... something like... if it happens again, loosen the cap to drive to a near service station etc...) don't know which post exactly.

Default prevents pressure build-up when the breather hose is blocked. Which tells me

this is not a turbo issue (if the smoke doesn't reappear), as others have speculated.

Default Update: I let it idle for 30 or so mins and took it for a small spin around the block. ...

still ton of smoke. I think I will have to get this towed to the dealer...

- getting ready for the other arm to be chopped to pay for this....

I am so pissed. This car is full of issues. 2nd winter with some sort of **** up. I baby this thing (oil changes on or earlier than needed) etc. sooo furious right now.

I love the search feature, you can find almost anything, relevant or not.
