Exclamation new car burns oil.

So my car is blwoing out purple smoke and i notice it when i pull in my garage even if i keep the revs below 2500 i still get some smoking when i give her hard i got smelly cloud of smoke.
when we called the dealer they said it was part of the break in process and not to worry. but i doubt it, beside the break in period is 500 K and i am at 1500

i need some advice , should we be trusting the dealer.

I had some smoking during breakin, and for about 1000 miles after that, a horrible smell from the car. It cleared up after a while, but I didn't have smoking for that long a period.

I would check with a different dealer than the one you went to. Thanks to the warranty, you can go about anywhere.

Get it checked though. Don't wait on this.
