Cool Milky Oil Buleting

I Took My Car To A Second Mazda Dealer To Get My Milky Oil Fix And I Show Them The Buleting From Mazda Usa And They Toll Me, That They Older The Parts For A Other Rx8 Onwer And That Mazda Send Them A Big Box With A New Intake Maniford And Some Other Parts, But No Instruction On How To Put Them To Fix This Problem And That Mazda Is Going To Send Letter Or Do A Recall For This, Its The Second Mazda Dealer That Tells Me This, The First One I Didn't Believe, Because He Didn't Explane To Me Or Show Me The Part. But This Person Did. Does Anybody Know Anything About This.

Is there a new bulletin that everyone else here is not aware of?
OLD ONE
From reading the above I get.

1, There is no ‘ FIX ‘ the dealer will just install a tube to hide the gunk from the owner.
2, There is no harm done to the engine.
3, There will be no recall as this issue doesn’t cause any problems.

Taking your car to the dealer for a non-issue is an invitation for problems. Now if there is a new bulletin or your leaking coolant into the engine the above doesn’t apply.
By the way three winters of gunk on the dipstick, 68,000 happy miles.

he's talking about the part kits mazda has put together so a dealer can update the car with the PCV type system that the 2006s have. it wont be a recall.if the dealer was to dense to figure it out all he had to do was call the tech line.

That's What I Was Thinking It Could Be, And If The Warranty Could Fix It And Not Have The Milky Oil At All, Why Not. That Why The Car Comes With A Warranty.

Except the oil is not milky, the dipstick is. Having done my own oil changes I have never seen milky oil. Your dealer's reaction to the box full of parts should have given you more of reason to keep them far away from your car for this non issue.
